The Northwest Territory was made up of land that would one day become Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota. The southeastern corner was first settled by a group of 48 members of an expedition called Ohio Company who had purchased one and a half million acres by Congress. By 1798 with a population of 5,000 the settlers, as provided for under the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, were given the right to elect a house of representatives. Ohio was admitted to the Union as the 17th state in 1803. Chillicothe is named state capital.
