Default Why is Ohio in Northeast, rather than Mid-West

This may be an old question already answered, but I'm wondering why Ohio is linked with Northeast rather than Midwest? I was raised in Hawaii, moved to California in the Navy, and finally relocated to the Midwest with a company in Ohio. I'd always been taught that Ohio was a Midwest state, and every other association of states places Ohio with Midwest.

So...why Northeast...a club usually reserved for the original colonies located north of the Mason-Dixon line?

Aloha...Mark
