==Boundary marker -Treaty of Greenville== [[File:Gville Treaty Line marker.jpg|thumb|Treaty of Green Ville marker at the site of Fort Recovery]] Following Wayne's victory in the [[Battle of Fallen Timbers]], the US offered peace in the 1795 [[Treaty of Greenville]] with the regional Indian tribes. Fort Recovery was used as a reference point to define the boundary line established by the treaty between the US and Indian tribal territory.<ref>{{cite web |title=Treaty of Greene Ville |publisher=Touring Ohio |url=http://touringohio.com/history/greeneville-treaty.html |access-date=15 August 2019}}</ref> In 1800, the fort was used as a reference point in defining the initial boundaries of the [[Indiana Territory]], when that was first separated from the original [[Northwest Territory]]. When Ohio was admitted as a state in 1803, the western boundary was placed a few miles west of Fort Recovery.
