Candidate passages:
In 1859-1860, by British treaties with Central American states, the Bay Islands and Mosquito questions were settled nearly in accord with the American contentions.
(Britain ceded the Bay Islands to Honduras in 1860 and ceded suzerainty over the Mosquito Coast to Nicaragua the same year.)
But by the same treaties Belize was accorded limits much greater than those contended for by the United States.
This settlement the United States accepted without cavil for many years. 
In the German–Spanish Treaty of 1899, the German government agreed to pay Spain 25,000,000 pesetas (equivalent to 16,600,000 goldmarks) for the Caroline Islands and the Mariana Islands (excluding Guam, which had been ceded to the USA after the 1898 Spanish-American War).
These islands became a protectorate and were administered from German New Guinea.
The Marshall Islands were added in 1906. 
By the Treaty of Brömsebro (1645), following the Torstenson War, Denmark-Norway ceded Jämtland, Härjedalen, Idre & Särna, Gotland, Halland and Ösel to Sweden.
Ösel and Dagö, islands off the coast of Estonia, were ceded to Russia in 1721 by the Treaty of Nystad.
The other territories remained part of Sweden.

The Province of New York was divided into twelve counties on November 1, 1683 by New York Governor Thomas Dongan: Albany County: All of the region that is now northern and western New York.
Also claimed the area, later disputed, that is now Vermont.
In addition, as there was no fixed western border to the colony (a sea-to-sea grant), Albany County technically extended to the Pacific Ocean.
Most of this land, which was Indian land for most of the province's history, has now been ceded to other states and most of the land within New York has been divided into new counties.
