Although Article I of the Convention referred to the territory to be evacuated simply as "the Country of the MOSQUITOS ...,” the intention was to secure the removal of a string of small British settlements extending from sixty miles east of Trujillo in what is now Honduras along some 550 miles of coast to Cape Gracias a Dios, and then south and east to Nicaragua's San Juan River. The area was called then, as now, the Mosquito Shore, and had been a British sphere of influence since the 1730s.
