Western Reserve Historical Museum, Cleveland, Ohio

The Western Reserve Historical Museum commemorates the "Connecticut Western Reserve."

In 1662, England's King Charles II issued a Royal Charter granting to the Colony of Connecticut a strip of territory extending westward all the way to the Pacific Ocean.   Connecticut subsequently ceded much of this land to New York and Pennsylvania, and after the Revolutionary War, it ceded most of the remainder to the new United States government.   But it retained the portion of the territory lying in what is now northeastern Ohio as its "Western Reserve."   Although now part of Ohio, this area is still known locally as the Connecticut Western Reserve, or just The Western Reserve.   Source: Western Reserve Historical Society, 2001.
