The Allen was an Americanautomobile, built at Forstoria, Ohio between 1913 and 1921. The company used Sommers four-cylinder engines, and acquired that company in 1915. The 1920 Allen 43 was a handsome craft, featuring bevel-sided touring coachwork and a high-shouldered radiator. Unfortunately, sales of this vehicle were not enough to avert the company's bankruptcy, which followed in 1921. Willys acquired what little was left.
Confusingly, another American company also offered a car called the Allen, also in 1913, though the Ohio model was somewhat more successful.
Ohio was part of the vast area ceded to the U.S. by the Treaty of Paris (1783).
Ohio was the 1st region developed under the provisions of that ordinance, with the activities of the Ohio Company of Associates promoted by Rufus Putnam and Manasseh Cutler.
Ohio was the scene of the northernmost penetration of Confederate forces in the war—the famous raid (1863) of John Hunt Morgan, which terrorized the people of the countryside until Morgan and most of his men were finally captured in the SE corner of the state.
