"Western Reserve"

When Connecticut, in 17SG, ceded
her western lands to the United States,
she reserved a large tract adjoining
Pennsylvania, now forming several
counties in the northeastern part of
Ohio. From this the region came to
be called ''the Western Reserve" The
reservation by Connecticut only lasted
a few years, as in 1900 she completed
the transfer of all the lands to the
United States. The Western Reserve
soon became famous for its good citi-
zenship, fine farms and determined op-
position to slavery.
