First explored for France by Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle, in 1669, the Ohio region
became British property after the French and Indian Wars. Ohio was acquired by
the U.S. after the Revolutionary War in 1783. In 1788, the first permanent settlement
was established at Marietta, capital of the Northwest Territory.
The 1790s saw severe fighting with the Indians in Ohio; a major battle was won
by Maj. Gen. Anthony Wayne at Fallen Timbers in 1794. In the War of 1812,
Commodore Oliver H. Perry defeated the British in the Battle of Lake Erie on
