The Northeastern Land District Office was created at Chicago by Congressional act of June 26, 1834. District, formerly part of Danville District, was made up of part of land lying north of line separating townships thirty and thirty-one north of baseline for second and third principal meridians. The Receiver at Chicago was designated as depository for U.S. Treasury under 1846 Congressional act. In this capacity he received fees for patents and caveats on inventions, customs collected at Chicago and deposits of funds from other land offices in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. Northeastern District Office was abolished on July 31, 1855, and responsibility for selling remaining public land in district was given to Springfield District Office.
