On December 11, 1816 the U.S. Congress granted statehood to Indiana pursuant to the fulfillment of five provisions. One of the provisions granted four sections of land (2560 acres) for the establishment of a state capital with the condition that the location be decided prior to the public sale of federal lands surrounding the new capital. These four sections donated by the federal government to the new state became known as the Indianapolis Donation. In 1824 the Agent of State was ordered to lay off 20 out-lots (lots outside the original mile square) to the west and east of town and to conduct their sale on the 4th Monday in January of 1825. Also in January of 1825, the Agent was ordered to lay off 20 out-lots to the north and south of the town, thus establishing North, East, South and West streets with this plat. These out-lots and the reserved in-lots numbered 1, 5 and 9 were offered for sale on May 2, 7 and 8, 1825. On May 1, 1827, all remaining unreserved, unsold lots and all relinquished lots were sold. From Indiana Website. "The best sales (in the Indianapolis Donation Land) were north and east of the bulk of the settlement, which was on and near the river owing to the prevalence of chills and fever the summer before, when everybody, old and young, was down at one time or another, except Enoch Banks, Thomas Chinn, and Nancy Hendricks."
