OHIO
History. Ohio was part of the Northwest Territory which,
besides Ohio, embraced what are now the states of Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the northeast corner of
Minnesota. It was discovered by Europeans late in the first
half of the 17th Century, and was claimed by both France and
England.
....
The contest between France and England, known as the Seven
Years' War, ended in the cession of the entire Northwest to
Great Britain. After winning the Northwest Territory,
however, Great Britain no longer recognized those claims of
her colonies to this territory, which she had asserted
against France, and finally annexed the region to the
Province of Quebec.
