Pretty straight forward. NorthEast Ohio is in the lands of the
Western Reserve which was a set aside if lands in the
Connecticut colony weren't sufficient to cover land grants
granted there.

To this day, "The Lands of the Western Reserve" is still a popular
tag line for many businesses in NE Ohio.
