Everything about Greenville Treaty totally explained
The
Treaty of Greenville was signed at Fort Greenville (now
Greenville, Ohio), on
August 3,
1795, between a coalition of
Native Americans and the
United States following the Native American loss at the
Battle of Fallen Timbers. It put an end to the
Northwest Indian War. The United States was represented by General
"Mad" Anthony Wayne, who defeated the Native Americans at Fallen Timbers. In exchange for goods to the value of $20,000 (such as blankets, utensils, and domestic animals), the Native Americans turned over to the United States large parts of modern-day
Ohio, the future site of
Chicago, and the
Fort Detroit area.
Native American leaders who signed the treaty included members of these tribes:
The treaty established what became known as the "Greenville Treaty Line," which was for several years a boundary between Native American territory and lands open to white settlers, although the treaty line was frequently disregarded by settlers as they continued to encroach on native lands guaranteed by the treaty. The treaty line began at the mouth of the
Cuyahoga River in present-day
Cleveland and ran south along the river to the
portage between the Cuyahoga and
Tuscarawas River in what is now known as the
Portage Lakes area between
Akron and
Canton. The line continued down the Tuscarawas to
Fort Laurens near present-day
Bolivar. From there, the line ran west-southwest to near present-day
Fort Loramie on a branch of the
Great Miami River. From there, the line ran west-northwest to
Fort Recovery, on the
Wabash River near the present-day boundary between
Ohio and
Indiana. From Fort Recovery, the line ran south-southwest to the
Ohio River at a point opposite the mouth of the
Kentucky River in present-day
Carrollton, Kentucky.
