Land in the Northwest Territory was allocated through the Land Ordinance of 1785, which established a systematic survey and division of the territory into townships and sections. Each township consisted of 36 sections, each measuring one square mile. The government sold these sections to settlers, with some reserved for public use, such as schools. This organized approach aimed to facilitate orderly settlement and development in the region.
