Best Answer

The Ohio River Valley was contested by France and Great Britain prior to the French and Indian War (or 7 Years War as it was known it Europe). This region west of the Appalacian Mountains offered great conditions for the trapping of beavers for pelts which had grown popular throughout Europe. In addition, the area also had lots of wildlife which made it desirable.
