First Settlement, Virginia Military District

In 1784, the state of Virginia ceded all of its Northwest Territory
to the federal government except for this tract to satisfy the
land bounties owed to its Revolutionary War soldiers. The Virginia
Military District extended from the Scioto River in the east to the Little
Miami River in the west, and from the Ohio River on the south
to the town of Kenton in the north. The District contained over
4 million acres of 1and. Nathaniel Massie founded Manchester,
which is the fourth oldest settlement in Ohio, as a base for his
surveying operations.
Manchester,
sometimes called Massie's Station
was founded in 1791,
populated largely by settlers
coming from Kentucky and Virginia.
