History - The OFA was first formed in the early 1980's under the name of the Ohio Hawk Trust (OHT). The founding members of the OHT were largely responsible for the successful effort to legalize falconry in Ohio in 1983. In 1995, the OHT membership voted to change the organization's name to the Ohio Falconry Association (OFA) to more clearly reflect its purpose.
