Imagine yourself standing right on the Northern Indian Boundary Line 1816. This line, an invisible boundary, used to mark the safe passage zone for traders between Chicago and Ottawa. In 1816, three allied Indian tribes – the Ottawa, Chippewa, and Potawatomi – ceded this land to the U.S. Government. In return, the tribes were given money and goods to allow tradesmen to travel safely without worrying about being attacked. The line signified a new chapter in this area’s history. It stretched for miles, along Boughton Road, Royce Road, and even through a park that now shares its name. The Northern Indian Boundary Line 1816, though not visible today, reminds us of the treaty that led to what we know as Chicago today. You can almost feel the spirit of those early traders walking along this boundary line. You can picture them setting up camp right here, perhaps making a deal for furs or other goods. The Northern Indian Boundary Line 1816, though invisible, still carries a story of bravery, understanding, and the dawn of a new era in this city.
