The chronology
1826
Overview
Two treaties defined boundaries among tribes of the upper Midwest: a February proclamation established a Winnebago country bounded on the southeast by Rock River, and an August treaty at Fond du Lac of Lake Superior confirmed those boundaries and defined those of the Chippewas. In December, a county named Chippewa was formed from northern Michilimackinac, including Wisconsin's Lake Superior shoreline within its southern boundary at 46° 31' north latitude. ↗ ↗ ↗ ↗
