It also covers Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 1925 as a result of an American Sociological Society meeting held the previous December. It was originally called the '''Ohio Sociological Society''', and changed its name to the '''Ohio Valley Sociological Society''' in 1937, whereupon it expanded to include multiple other states besides Ohio.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ncsanet.org/pdfs/HISTORY-History-of-NCSA-2009-10.pdf | title=A Brief History of the North Central Sociological Association | accessdate=5 July 2017 | author=Potter, Harry R.}}</ref> Its official journal is ''Sociological Focus'', which has been published continuously since 1968.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ncsanet.org/publications | title=Publications | work=NCSA website | accessdate=5 July 2017}}</ref> Previously its journal was known as ''The Ohio Valley Sociologist'' between 1938 and 1967, and from 1927 to 1938 was called ''The Ohio Sociologist''.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Terzola |first1=Dennis |title=On The History Of The Ohio Sociological Society |journal=Sociological Focus |date=Spring 1969 |volume=2 |issue=3 |pages=87–88 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/20830687 |access-date=4 December 2020 |publisher=Taylor & Francis, Ltd.|doi=10.1080/00380237.1969.10570678 |jstor=20830687 |url-access=subscription }}</ref> ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External links== *{{Official website|http://www.ncsanet.org/}}
