    McKee's Purchase

    McKee’s Purchase of 1790 (also known as the McKee Treaty and Treaty 2) was an early land agreement between Indigenous peoples and British authorities in Upper Canada (later Ontario).

This land was made available for settlement by Loyalists who were displaced by the American Revolution.
