Topic: Virginia Military District

	Intro to OH Land History
		Virginia was the original 'owner' of the Ohio lands (as well as those of other states in the midwest).
		In 1784 Virginia relinquished its claim to lands to the northwest of the Ohio River in exchange for being able to award bounty lands (land grants in lieu of payment for military service) in Ohio's "Virginia Military District" (see next).
		The District was located between the Little Miami and Scioto Rivers in the south-central portion of the state.
