Treaty of Greenville Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

The Treaty of Greenville was signed on August 3, 1795 between a coalition of Native American tribes and the United States following the Native American loss at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. It put an end to the War of the Wabash Confederacy. The United States was represented by General Anthony Wayne, who defeated Native Americans and razed their villages a year earlier at Fallen Timbers. In exchange for monetary compensation the Native Americans turned over to the United States:

• Large parts of modern-day Ohio
• The future site of Chicago
• The Fort Detroit area

White settlers largely ignored the boundaries of this treaty, and after its signing settlements sprang up quickly in Native American territory.
