The Niagara Purchase was an agreement between certain Mississauga peoples and the British crown signed in 1781. Under this agreement, the Mississaugas "grant, bargain, sell, release and confirm to our said Sovereign Lord King George the third"[1] a tract of land bordered on the north by Lake Ontario, on the south by Lake Erie, and on the east by the Niagara River and extending six-and-a-half kilometres to the west. The Mississaugas accepted 300 suits of clothing as payment.[2]
