In 1818, Great Britain ceded territory that included parts of the present-day United States and Canada. This agreement primarily involved a portion of the Oregon Country, which had been jointly occupied by both nations. The treaty established the boundary between the U.S. and British territories at the 49th parallel, extending from the Lake of the Woods to the Rocky Mountains. This arrangement laid the groundwork for future negotiations over the Oregon Territory.
The territory of the original 13 states was ceded by Great Britain under the 1783 Treaty of Paris ( ratified by the Congress of the Confederation on January 14, 1784, and by George III, King of Great Britain on April 9, 1784) Parts of North Dakota and Minnesota were ceded by Great Britain to the USA under the Convention of 1818 between the United States and Great Britain.
In the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842, Great Britain ceded territory to the United States. The treaty resolved border disputes between the U.S. and British North America, particularly in the area of the Maine-New Brunswick border. It helped to clarify and establish the boundaries, contributing to peaceful relations between the two nations.

The United States did not pay for the southern half of the Oregon Territory but there was compensation for the assets of the Hudson's Bay Company in the territory ceded in 1846. Britain ceded the territory to the United States under threat of war even though the United States had few if any genuine territorial claims to the territory north of the Columbia River. It is also ironic that at the very time the United States was readying itself for war with Mexico it was also threatening war with Great Britain. Even more ironic that within 15 years the United States desperately needed the good will of Great Britain.
The "rock" you inquired about is the British self governing territory of Gibraltar. Spain ceded the territory to Britain with the Treaty Of Utrecht in 1713.
