The Susquehannock were a Native American tribe that lived in the region around the Susquehanna River in what is now Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New York. They were known for their agricultural practices, hunting, and fishing, and they played a significant role in the fur trade during the 17th century. The Susquehannock were part of the larger group of tribes known as the Iroquois. In the 1600s, the Susquehannock faced conflicts with European settlers and other tribes, leading to a decline in their population. By the late 18th century, many Susquehannock had either been killed or displaced due to warfare and disease. Today, their legacy is remembered through historical studies and cultural preservation efforts.
