The Ohio Company of Associates, also known as the Ohio Company, was a land company whose members are today credited with becoming the first non-Native American group to settle in the present-day state of Ohio. In 1788 they established Marietta, Ohio as the first permanent settlement of the new United States in the newly organized Northwest Territory. ==Creation of the company== The company was formed on March 1, 1786, by Rufus Putnam, Benjamin Tupper, Samuel Holden Parsons and Manasseh Cutler in Boston, Massachusetts. They had met at The Bunch-of-Grapes tavern, located on King Street, to discuss the settlement of the territory around the Ohio River. On March 8, 1787, Parsons, Putnam, and Cutler were chosen as directors, and Winthrop Sargent was elected secretary.〔Hildreth, ''Pioneer History'', 199.〕 On August 30, 1787, James Mitchell Varnum was elected as a director, and Richard Platt as treasurer.〔Hildreth, ''Pioneer History'', 200-01.〕 Later directors included Griffin Greene upon the death of Varnum,〔Hildreth, ''Pioneer History'', 249.〕 and Robert Oliver upon the death of Parsons.〔Hildreth, ''Pioneer History'', 259.〕
