The Treaty of Greenville was signed at Fort Greenville (now Greenville, Ohio), on August 3, 1795, between a coalition of American Indian tribes, known as the Western Confederacy, and frontiermen of the United States; it followed the Native American loss at the Battle of Fallen Timbers the previous year. The treaty ended the Northwest Indian War in Ohio Country.
The United States was represented by General "Mad Anthony" Wayne, who led the victory at Fallen Timbers. In exchange for goods to the value of $20,000 (such as blankets, utensils, and domestic animals), the American Indian tribes ceded to the United States large parts of modern-day Ohio, the future site of downtown Chicago,[

the Fort Detroit area, Maumee, Ohio Area,[3]
and the Lower Sandusky Ohio Area.[4]
This depiction of the treaty negotiations may have been painted by one of Anthony Wayne's officers, c. 1795.
American Indian leaders who signed the treaty included leaders of these bands and tribes:
In the Treaty of Greenville (1795), the Native American tribes surrendered the southern two-thirds of the area between Lake Erie and the Ohio River, known today as modern-day Ohio, opening it up to white families. The Native Americans did this in exchange for goods to the value of $20,000 (such as blankets, utensils, and domestic animals). The treaty established what became known as the "Greenville Treaty Line," which was for several years a boundary between Native American territory and lands open to white settlers, although the treaty line was frequently disregarded by settlers as they continued to encroach on native lands guaranteed by the treaty.
It ended their armed struggle against white settlement and turned over a vast part of Ohio as far away as Chicago and Detroit for settlers. It did not good for the Native Americans except for a few blankets and utensils.
