Yes, they were a part of the Northwest Territory.
The Northwest Territory was organized in 1787. The states that were in it were Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and part of Minnesota.
Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio
On July 4, 1800, in preparation for Ohio's statehood, the Indiana Territory was carved out, reducing the Northwest Territory to the size of Ohio, to prepare for statehood. The Northwest Territory went out of existence when Ohio was admitted as a state on March 1, 1803
The first governor after the territory was separated from the Northwest Territory in 1800 was future president William Henry Harrison, serving from 1801 to 1812.
Thomas Jefferson purchased the French claims in the Mississippi Valley in the Louisiana Purchase. It was incorporated as the Louisiana Territory from 1805 to 1812. On March 1, 1803, the state of Ohio (in the Northwest Territory) was admitted to the Union. The remaining territory from the Northwest Territory became the Indiana Territory.
In 1787, Congress banned slavery in the new northwest territory. The territory included the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. By prohibiting slavery in the territory, it made the Ohio River the boundary between slave and non-slave states.
Thomas Jefferson After the end of the American Revolution, Congress established a system for settling the new territory the United States acquired. The land involved was located west of the Appalachian Mountains and eventually became the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and a portion of Minnesota. The Land Ordinances of 1785 and 1787 served as a framework for settling this Northwest Territory.
"Indiana" means "Indian Lands." The use of that word to describe the territory now called Indiana dates back to at least 1768 and the "Indiana Land Company." The name was used in 1800 when creating the Indiana Territory out of the Northwest Territory when Ohio was being prepared for admission as a state. At that time, most of the Indiana Territory was land held by the Indians (as Native Americans were then called) and not controlled by the US government.
The Northwest Territory was one of the first territories of the United States. It was incorporated in 1787 by the Northwest Ordinance. It consisted of all of modern-day Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and parts of Minnesota.
