In the 1780’s and 1790’s, after the Revolutionary War, Georgia claimed its territory extended from the Atlantic Ocean west as far as the Mississippi River. In the late 1780’s the state legislature began exploring the option of selling some of its western lands to raise money and promote settling in the area. After several failed attempts by land companies to make a successful purchase of the western territories, in 1794 and 1795 some serious contenders came forward. Four separate land companies joined forces to present a $500,000 offer on approximately 35,000,000 acres of land which comprises most of modern day Mississippi and Alabama.
