    In the mid 18th century, many within the British Empire viewed the Ohio River Valley,
    a region west of the Appalachian Mountains thinly populated by American Indians, as
    a source of potential wealth. In the 1740s, British and Irish businessmen were moving into
    the area and competing with French merchants in the lucrative fur trade. Land speculators
    looked to the Ohio Country as a place where lands might be acquired and then resold to immigrants.
    In 1747, a number of influential men organized the Ohio Company of Virginia in order to
    capitalize on these opportunities. The Ohio Company was composed of Virginians.
    In 1750, the Ohio Company hired Christopher Gist, a skillful woodsman and surveyor, to
    explore the Ohio Valley in order to identify lands for potential settlement. He surveyed by
    estimating the Kanawhan Region and the Ohio Valley tributaries beginning in 1750, 1751
    and 1753. His journals provide valuable insights of the greater Ohio Valley and the Alleghenies.
    Ultimately, the Ohio Company was merged into the Grand Ohio Company, also known as
    the Walpole Company or the Vandalia Company, an organization in which Benjamin Franklin
    was interested. In 1772, the Grand Ohio Company received from the British government a
    grant of a large tract lying along the southern bank of the Ohio as far west as the mouth of
    the Scioto River. A colony to be called "Vandalia" was planned. However, the outbreak of
    the American Revolutionary War interrupted colonization and nothing was accomplished.
