Treaty of Greenville Establishes Northwest Territory Boundaries
The 1795 Greenville treaty, signed Aug 3 with Gen Anthony Wayne and Chief Little Turtle, ceded lands north of the Ohio River to the lakes and east of the Mississippi to the Alleghenies, forming today’s Ohio Michigan Indiana Illinois Wisconsin and Minnesota. Wayne’s victory at Fallen Timbers and the treaty ended British forts violations and opened peaceful settlement, with Wayne hailed as a top American general and praised for Stony Point. The article urges naming a monument for Wayne at Greenville, Ohio, to honor his service.
