The representatives of the two sides in the Northwest Indian War meet in January 1785 at Fort McIntosh at the confluence of the Ohio and Beaver Rivers.

Representatives of the Wyandot, Delaware, Chippewa and Ottawa nations cede all claims to land in the Ohio Country east of the Cuyahoga and Muskingum rivers.

The tribes also cede the areas surrounding Fort Detroit and Fort Michilimackinac to the American government and return captives taken in raids along the frontier.

Colonel Harmar is a signatory to the treaty.

Problems with the new treaty soon arise, however.

Connecticut's Western Reserve extends west of the Cuyahoga River into the reservation lands.

Connecticut has already granted large tracts of land, later to be nicknamed the "Firelands", in the region to Revolutionary War veterans and Patriots who had lost their homes in the war.
