THE 1638 TREATY The Pequot War of 1636 and 1637 saw the virtual elimination of the Pequot Indians . The victors met to decide on the division of the fruits of victory. While the treaty settled the Pequot War, the Pequots were not a party to it. The Massachusetts Bay Colony , the Connecticut River Colony , the Mohegan and Narragansett tribes were. Surviving prisoners were divided between the tribes; 40 percent each and the remaining 20 percent awarded to tribes on Long Island who had supported the Narragansett. The Pequot lands went to the Connecticut River towns. The other major feature of this treaty was to outlaw the Pequot language and name. Any survivors would be referred to in the future as Mohegans or Narrgansett. No Pequot town or settlement would be allowed. This treaty was signed on September 21 , 1638. THE 1650 TREATY In 1650 Peter Stuyvesant came to Hartford to negotiate a border with Edward Hopkins . The Dutch colony of Niew Nederlandt (New Netherlands) in Nova Belgii (New Belgium) was feeling increased pressure from the rising number of English colonists. He was ready to resign Connecticut land claims in order to get a breathing space on Long Island. They agreed on a line 50 Dutch miles west of the mouth of the Connecticut River. On Long Island, a line would be drawn south from the westernmost point of Oyster Bay, through modern Nassau County . The treaty didn't really mean much. The Dutch West India Company refused to recognize it. The entire colony of Niew Nederlandt was conquered by the British in 1664 . However, the border established between Connecticut and New York is still in effect, with some minor adjustments. THE 1786 TREATY The colonial charters for New York and Massachusetts both described their boundaries as extending westward to the , Holland Land Company , The Holland Purchase , The Morris Reserve and The Pulteney Association . Similar western boundary issues involving these and other states were resolved by the Northwest Ordinance passed by the Continental Congress in July of 1787 .
