The Northwest Territory was the land ceded by Virginia to the newly-created United States and basically extended west from Pennsylvania's western border and north from the Ohio River westward to the Mississippi River. It therefore included, wholly or in part, six present-day states: Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
The area received from Great Britain in 1783 and organized as the Northwest Territory in 1789 included what is today all of the States of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, most of the State of Ohio (the rest of what is now Ohio previously belonged to Connecticut), and part of the State of Minnesota.
