The Erie Triangle is a roughly 300-square-mile (780-square-kilometre) tract of land that was the subject of several competing colonial-era claims. It was eventually acquired by the U.S. federal government and sold to Pennsylvania so that the state would have access to a freshwater port on Lake Erie.
