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.
