The Treaty of Colerain was signed at St. Marys, Georgia in Camden County, Georgia, by Benjamin Hawkins, George Clymer, and Andrew Pickens for the United States and representatives of the Creek Nation, for whom Indian trader Langley Bryant served as an interpreter, on June 29, 1796, proclaimed on March 18, 1797, and codified as 7 Stat. 56.
Colerain was a small community and the site of a U.S. Indian factory founded by James Seagrove.
This treaty formally allowed the Creek chiefs to acknowledge the negotiation for delineating the Georgia-Florida boundary with Spain.
The first modification stipulated that the military or trading posts would be under the control of the United States.
The second modification stipulated that if the U.S. no longer required the use of those posts, the locations would revert to the Creek people.
