We tend to forget that the British hung on to various points along the Great Lakes for quite some time after they were supposed to give these points to the new United States per the Treaty of Paris -1783. I believe that Fort Niagara & some of the points to the west were returned as a result of Jay's Treaty - 1795, during the Washington administration.
