in 1750 , the company hired christopher gist to survey the land . gist provided one of the first and most detailed descriptions of southern ohio and northeastern kentucky . based partly on gist ' s survey , the company ' s investors decided to settle south and east of the ohio river in present - day pennsylvania and west virginia . the company began trading with indians , building storehouses and roads , and establishing forts . in 1753 , a settlement called gist ' s plantation was founded near mount braddock , pennsylvania .

with the defeat of the french in 1763 , the ohio river and the great lakes areas were placed within the boundaries of canada , and the ohio company was merged with another land company to better exploit the region . settlers in ohio resented these acts and joined the patriots in their struggle against the british in the american revolution . in 1783 , ohio was ceded to the united states with the signing of the treaty of paris . in 1788 , marietta became the first permanent american settlement in what was known as the old northwest . during the next decade , native americans were suppressed and british traders were pushed out , and in 1799 ohio became a u . s . territory . in 1803 , it entered the union as the 17th state .

in 1748 , several wealthy virginians , including family members of george washington , established the ohio company . the investors hoped to secure lands west of the appalachian mountains from the british government . they would purchase the property from the king and then sell the land to settlers moving westward for a higher price than what the investors had originally paid .
in promoting the settlement of american colonists in a region west of the appalachians then thinly populated by indian tribes , the ohio company helped provoke the seven - year french and indian war . native americans fought on both sides of the conflict but were mostly allied with the french . the iroquois , however , sided with the american colonists and britain .

thomas wharton sought to revive the indiana company in 1776 , but conflicts between previous investors blocked any action . in the 1780 ' s , samuel wharton used his position in the continental congress to seek some sort of land grant based on the claims of the suffering traders , but virginia negotiated its cession of the northwest territory so the state maintained its control over lands south of the ohio river .
the virginia colony ' s land claims along the ohio river dated back to the second charter issued by king james i in 1609 to the virginia company , and virginia refused to relinquish its claim to the indiana lands . the representatives of the suffering traders , samuel wharton and william trent , went to london in 1769 to seek a royal approval that would bypass any title asserted by officials in williamsburg .

washington may have heard about the expedition from his neighbor and patron , colonel william fairfax . in october 1753 , washington traveled to williamsburg to present himself to dinwiddie and to volunteer to be britain’s emissary to the french . [ 8 ] washington was not explicit as to why he was willing to take on this assignment , but he may have hoped to ingratiate himself with the governor with the intension of succeeding to the northern adjutancy . dinwiddie accepted washington’s services , perhaps because of his connections to the ohio company . [ 9 ]
shortly after his return to williamsburg in january 1754 , george washington sat down and wrote a detailed account of his journey to the ohio valley and a description of all that he had seen . this account was so well received by lt . governor robert dinwiddie that he had maj . washington ' s journal published in both williamsburg and in london . the journal of major george washington included not only washington ' s careful account of his experiences in the ohio country , but also dinwiddie ' s letter to the french and the french reply .

dinwiddie instructed washington to travel to wills creek ( cumberland , md ) - - where the ohio company’s fortified storehouse was located - - and to hire christopher gist as a guide . [ 10 ] from there , he was to hire porters and proceed to logstown , an indian settlement . at logstown , washington was to determine where the french forces were posted , request an indian escort , and proceed to the french forts in the ohio river valley [ 11 ] . dinwiddie instructed washington , once he arrived at the french fort , to present his letter from the governor , wait for a reply , and request a french escort back to the virginia settlements . while waiting at the fort , he was to note troop strength , armaments , defenses , communications , and learn all he could about the french plans . [ 12 ]
settlers for the most part resented these arrangements and , in time , joined the patriots in their struggle against the british in the american revolution — with washington serving as the patriots’ commander in chief . in 1783 , britain ceded ohio to the united states under the treaty of paris .

the two documents that follow are closely connected . both were products of the obscure and complicated process by which a group , known as the “suffering traders , ” that claimed indian lands west of the alleghenies was transformed into an anglo - american company with political influence and grandiose ambitions . neither of the documents can be precisely dated . the first is a rough draft , in franklin’s hand , of the organization of the company ; the second is a petition from it , which is endorsed as having been read before the privy council on july 24 , 1769 . the two were presumably composed at almost the same time .
the independent machine program soon comprised heavy plate shears with a cutting capacity of 25 mm , double - column crank presses , eccentric presses , press - brakes and toggle lever presses . in 1955 , the number of employees was around 310 . in the very same year , company founder theodor gräbener passed away .
in 1804 , the company established ohio university on the land that it had set aside for that purpose . in its early years , the university only offered the equivalent of a high school education and enrollment remained low . the settlers of marietta had greater success in establishing a new society once the treaty of greenville , signed in 1795 , effectively forcibly evicted many of the region ' s american indian peoples from the area . as the population continued to grow in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries , many of the new england settlers found themselves in disagreement with people coming from virginia and kentucky who had different visions for the region .
the journal of major george washington appeared in monograph form and was published in various newspapers in both britain and america . the account not only helped to inform the american and british populations of the perceived growing french threat in the ohio valley , but also made young george washington a celebrity on both sides of the atlantic .

the interest of british colonists in these western lands quickly became known to the french , who had no interest in sharing the region with their rival . they responded by constructing a string of forts in the contested area ( see new france ) . the effort to control the ohio country was the most direct cause of the french and indian war .
benjamin franklin , pennsylvania ' s land agent ( lobbyist ) in london , joined the effort to confirm the indiana claim negotiated with the iroquois . franklin , wharton , and trent conspired to expand the scope of their efforts and seek a land grant even larger than what the iroquois granted , and larger than the original dreams of the illinois company .
by the early 1750s the french and british were in conflict in the ohio valley . since the beginning of european settlement in the seventeenth century , english settlement had slowly expanded westward from the eastern seaboard , while french settlement moved south from canada . in the 1740s , british traders entered the ohio valley and began competing with already established french traders for indian commerce . in 1744 the iroquois signed the treaty of lancaster with the british , which ceded iroquois claims in maryland and virginia . while the iroquois assumed that this meant the shenandoah valley and land already within settled colonial boundaries , the british interpreted it as the entire area of english claim . virginia’s charter specified that its western boundary was the pacific ocean .

president franklin d . roosevelt was well aware of u . s . vulnerability because of its dependence on threatened supplies of natural rubber , and in june 1940 , he formed the rubber reserve company ( rrc ) . the rrc set objectives for stockpiling rubber , conserving the use of rubber in tires by setting speed limits , and collecting scrap rubber for reclamation .
the american chemical society designated the u . s . synthetic rubber program as a national historic chemical landmark in a ceremony on august 29 , 1998 , at the university of akron in akron , ohio . additional plaques were presented to the five companies listed below that participated in the development of gr - s rubber . the text of the plaque commemorating the program reads :
the british government owed nothing to these traders or their financial backers ; they had sought high profits by taking high risks , and suffered a business loss . the land speculators saw an opportunity aligned with the traders , and formed the indiana company . they then sought to get compensation from the native americans though the negotiations that led to the 1768 treaty of fort stanwix .
after the loss of the natural rubber supply , the rrc called for an annual production of 400 , 000 tons of general purpose synthetic rubber to be manufactured by the four large rubber companies . on december 19 , 1941 , jersey standard , firestone , goodrich , goodyear , and united states rubber company signed a patent and information sharing agreement under the auspices of the rrc .
responding to the defiant french , lt . governor dinwiddie ordered the newly promoted lt . col . george washington and approximately 160 virginia militia to return to the ohio country in march of 1754 . dinwiddie wanted washington to
act on the defensive ,
but also clearly empowered washington to
make prisoners of or kill & destroy…
all those who resisted british control of the region .
while on the march , washington encountered the straggling remains of ensign edward ward’s contingent in retreat from the forks . the french had taken the british fort without a shot . faced with a vastly superior force , ward had surrendered . [ 30 ] washington continued on with the understanding that reinforcements were on the way . fry was scheduled to leave alexandria with 100 men . three independent companies [ 31 ] from south carolina and new york were on the march . north carolina also reported that they were sending militia in support of the british and colonial cause . [ 32 ] believing he was the advance portion of a large contingent of soldiers , washington elected to continue his mission and set his sights for the ohio company’s fortified storehouse on red stone creek . [ 33 ]
in 1906 scientists at the bayer company in germany embarked on a program to make synthetic rubber . by 1912 , they were producing methyl rubber , made by polymerizing methylisoprene . methyl rubber was manufactured on a large scale during world war i , when a blockade halted the import of natural rubber to germany . because methyl rubber was an expensive and inferior imitation , production was abandoned at the war ' s end .
in 1754 the french expanded their control of the region , capturing the british trading post at logstown and another site operated by william trent on the headwaters of the ohio river as well . here the french built fort duquesne ( modern pittsburgh , pennsylvania ) . that same year , dinwiddie sent washington and a force of virginia militiamen to the ohio country to force the french to withdraw from the area . the french , however , proved to be too firmly entrenched . washington decided to build his own fort , fort necessity , to challenge fort duquesne ' s dominance of the region . a combined force of french soldiers from fort duquesne and their american indian allies attacked fort necessity in july 1754 , signaling the start of the french and indian war ( 1756 - 1763 ) . the french captured washington ' s men and sent the militia forces back to virginia .
operating from the recently established fort ligonier , colonel washington ' s virginians participated in a number of operations in the area east of the french position . on november 24 , 1758 , washington led his troops on an advance that occupied the smoking ruins of the abandoned fort duquesne . after almost five years of hard marching , combat , and countless setbacks , washington was finally able to stand at the british controlled forks of the ohio .
