| | Wood County, Ohio 1895 History |
 | | Accordingly, on July 11, 1805, a treaty, the sixth relating to Ohio,* was made at Ft. Industry (now Toledo), with the Wyandot, Ottawa, Chippewa, Munsee, Delaware, Shawnee and Pottawatamie tribes, for the purchase of the remainder of the Connecticut Reserve. |
 | | The treaty, while it did not directly affect it, was of great advantage to the Maumee Country, which, with some superior advantages along with its drawbacks, was being held back while other parts of the State were being settled; still these gradual advances of the lines of settlement gave hope for the future. |
 | | The title to this reserve was one of the conditions of that treaty, and the size of the reserve, and the tenacity with which Wayne insisted on having this block of land, shows the important views he had concerning the Maumee Rapids and vicinity. |
