— Земельная компания Миссисипи земельная компания, образованная в 1763 году после победы Великобритании во франко-индийской войне (1754–1763) в Северной Америке. Компания была создана для приобретения земельных грантов в обширном бывшем Новой Франции регионе между Аппалачами и рекой Миссисипи , переданном Францией Великобритании после войны.

Земельная компания Миссисипи была основана колониальными жителями штата Вирджиния, включая Джорджа Вашингтона , Джона Августина Вашингтона , Ричарда Генри Ли , Артура Ли и Уильяма Фицхью . Компания надеялась основать новую колонию в долине Миссисипи, обратившись к Короне с просьбой предоставить 2,5 миллиона акров (10 000 км²) на территории нынешних Иллинойса , Кентукки и Теннесси , в том числе там, где река Огайо впадает в Миссисипи.

Однако время было выбрано неудачно, поскольку вскоре британское правительство издало Королевскую прокламацию 1763 года , которая временно остановила экспансию британских колоний на запад. Хотя линия границы, установленная прокламацией, в последующие годы была продлена на запад, Компания Миссисипи так и не получила земли и прекратила свою деятельность примерно к 1770 году.
