The parallel 54 degrees 40' north was the northern boundary of the Oregon Territory, which was claimed by both the United States and Great Britain in the mid-19th century. This boundary was significant in the context of the Oregon boundary dispute, which was resolved with the Oregon Treaty of 1846. The treaty established the boundary at the 49th parallel, south of 54 degrees 40', thereby granting the U.S. control over the majority of the territory.
