The
Original
Indiana
To those
who
have
never
heard
of any
Indiana
other
than the
one
we
live
in the
map
here
presented
will, at
first
glance
, be an
enigma
. This
triangular
tract
approximately
enclosed
by the
Ohio
river
, the
Little
Kanawha
river
and the
western
ranges
of the
Appalachian
mountains
,
lies
in what
is
now
West
Virginia
.
Few
maps
present
it
, and
none
other
so
well
as this,
published
in
1778
, by
Thomas
Hutchins
,
one
of the
first
American
cartographers
. The
original
“Indiana”
was
recognized
by that
name
from
about
1768
to the
latter
part
of the
eighteenth
century
.
Soon
after
the
passing
of the
French
possessions
into the
hands
of
England
the
tract
,
consisting
of
about
5,000
square
miles
, was
given
by the
Iroquois
Indians
to a
trading
company
that had been
organized
in
Philadelphia
, as
indemnity
for
goods
that had been
forcibly
seized
by
some
predatory
bands
. The
recipients
of this
rather
generous
restitution
honored
the
donors
by
naming
the
tract
“Indiana,”
or the
land
of the
Indians
.
After
the
Revolutionary
war
both
Virginia
and the
United
states
refused
to
recognize
the
title
claimed
by the
company
;
Virginia
took
over
the
land
, and the
name
applied
to
it
ceased
to
exist
.
When
Indiana
Territory
was
formed
in
1800
, the
name
was
probably
borrowed
from the
previous
tract
,
though
why
or by
whom
is
not
known
.
