The information is in the free GeoIP2 database but you would need to extract it not IP specific (in reverse) -- the intended use.
Use a zip code database to get the Ohio latitude and longitude coordinates for each Ohio city then query the GeoIP2 data.

The location data is in the Free GeoLite2-City-CSV_20150106 at Maxmind -- some assembly required ;)
I think you can do some free lookups if you are just backtracking at Maxmind.
Wasn't all in vain -- nice to know that current US zip code and other countries postal codes data is available on an updated basis for another project of mine ...

Thank you all for the additional resources. Sent the details you shared over. The zip code data is something of a bonus also, which I asked my guy to look into for another project. So an extra thank you!!!
