Treaty of Greene Ville
With the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1763, England lost the American
Revolution and ceded to the former colonies land from the Atlantic Ocean
to the Mississippi River. By this time, pioneer settlers had reached the
eastern bank of the Ohio River, but the Ohio Country, located west and
north of the river, was still considered Indian territory. The Indian tribes
desperately defended their hold on the land. On August 20, 1794, United
States forces led by Major General Anthony Wayne defeated an Indian
alliance at the Battle of Fallen Timbers fought near modern day Toledo.
One year later, on August 3, 1795, the largest assemblage of northwestern
Indian representatives at a peace settlement signed the Treaty of Greene
Ville, which effectively ceded all land south of the Greene Ville Treaty
line to the Americans. The Fort Laurens site was a reference point in
the Treaty line. The Ohio Country was then rapidly settled, and in 1808
Tuscarawas County was organized.
