Indian Stream
From Free net encyclopedia
Indian Stream is a tributary of the Connecticut River, approximately 25 mi (40 km) long, in New Hampshire in the United States. It rises in the mountains of extreme northern New Hampshire, in Coos County near the U.S.-Canada border, and flows SSW, joining the Connecticut 2 mi (3.2 km) downstream from Pittsburg.
The area around Pittsburg was the subject of border dispute in the 1830s between the United States and Canada, leading to the short-lived, self-proclaimed Republic of Indian Stream. The border dispute, based upon an ambiguity in the Treaty of Paris (1783), was resolved in 1842, with the river drainage and the land lying east of Halls Stream established as part of the State of New Hampshire.
