1. Treaty of Greenville Marker
After a long winter with few supplies, deep distrust of the British and minimal shelter, the Native Americans were left with little choice but to accept the terms of the proposed treaty. In the treaty, Nations retained northwest Ohio as Indian land, except for several reserves granted to the United States. One was a 12-mile square, surrounding the foot of the rapids, where military and trading activities led to early settlement of Maumee and Perrysburg.
The treaty opened the rest of Ohio to the United States.
Erected by Metroparks of the Toledo Area.

The negotiated peace was only temporary. Anthony Wayne who promised to protect the treaty would die a year later. A Spanish spy James Wilkinson would take command of his army. Continuing encroachments by settlers on Indian Country north and west of the treaty line (and(Submitted on July 20, 2024, by J.T. Lambrou of New Boston, Michigan.)of future treaty lines established by the Treaty of Vincennes, Treaty of Grouseland, and Treaty of Fort Wayne of 1809), especially in Indiana, would lead a disgruntled Tecumseh, who had not signed the Treaty of Greenville, to reform the Confederacy at Prophetstown over the following decade. Unrest among the tribes culminated in the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, a major defeat for indigenous nations that may have contributed to their siding with the British in the War of 1812.Photographed by Dale K.
