a land company formed in 1754, chiefly of Connecticut farmers, for the colonization of the Wyoming country. By a treaty with the Five Nations, July 11, 1754, an enormous tract of country was purchased for € 2000. It began at the southern boundary of Connecticut and followed in a northerly direction the course of the Susquehannah to northern Pennsylvania. In 1785-1786 many disputes arose between the Susquehannah Company and the Pennsylvania claimants of the territory. This was called the "Pennamite War." (See Wyoming Controversy.)
