The 49th parallel was established as a boundary between the United States and British North America (now Canada) through the Oregon Treaty of 1846. This line was chosen to resolve disputes over the Oregon Territory, which both nations claimed. The treaty aimed to avoid conflict by defining a clear border, extending from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Thus, the 49th parallel became a significant demarcation in North American geography and international relations.
The agreement establishing the 49th parallel as the boundary between the United States and British North America was formalized in the Oregon Treaty, which was signed on June 15, 1846. This treaty resolved the Oregon boundary dispute and established the border along the 49th parallel from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean.

The 49th parallel was established as a boundary between the United States and British North America through the Oregon Treaty of 1846. This treaty was negotiated between the United States and the United Kingdom, primarily driven by U.S. expansionist interests and the desire to resolve territorial disputes in the Pacific Northwest. The boundary runs west from the Lake of the Woods to the Pacific Ocean, effectively defining much of the current U.S.-Canada border.
Alaska is entirely above the 49th parallel. The Lake of the Woods part of Minnesota is also above the 49th parallel, but the rest of the state is not.
