The Land Ordinance of 1785 established a mechanism for surveying, selling, and settling land west of the Appalachian Mountains, north of the Ohio River, and east of the Mississippi River. Under the Northwest Ordinance, established states gave up claims to the new western lands, allowing new states to be created.
