HANCOCK COUNTY, OH (WLIO) - Ohio has only experienced one total solar eclipse, known as "Tecumseh's Eclipse", back in 1806. This event coincided with Tecumseh's efforts to unite Native American tribes against settlers' invasion of their territory. Tecumseh used his knowledge of the impending eclipse to establish his and his brothers, the prophets', positions in the political arena of the newly formed state of Ohio. Almost 118 years later, Ohio is set to witness its second total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024.
