Additional Details

The North American Land Company, founded February 20, 1795, at Philadelphia, was one of the larger American land speculation companies of the time, controlling at one point about 6,000,000 acres in North and South Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New York, and Virginia, including present-day West Virginia. Despite reorganizations in 1802 and 1806, the company did not prosper and ultimately failed.
