The Transylvania Colony, also referred to as the Transylvania Purchase, was a short-lived, extra-legal colony founded in early 1775 by North Carolina land speculator Richard Henderson, who formed and controlled the Transylvania Company. Henderson and his investors had reached an agreement to purchase a vast tract of Cherokee lands west of the southern and central Appalachian Mountains through the acceptance of the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals with most leading Cherokee chieftains then controlling these lands. In exchange for the land the tribes received goods worth, according to the estimates of some scholars, about 10,000 British pounds ($1.5 million U.S. in 2016).

rdfs:comment	Transilvania, en su forma inglesa Transylvania, es el nombre dado a una colonia que se estableció en territorios del Sur del río Ohio que actualmente forman parte del estado de Kentucky, en Estados Unidos. (es) Transylvania była krótko istniejącą kolonią brytyjską na obszarze dzisiejszego amerykańskiego stanu Kentucky. Kolonia została utworzona w roku 1775 przez sędziego Richarda Hendersona z Karoliny Północnej, który odkupił ziemie od Czirokezów. Najsłynniejszym „obywatelem” Transylvanii był myśliwy i traper Daniel Boone, który został wynajęty przez Hendersona do wytyczenia Dzikiej Drogi przez Przełęcz Cumberland do środkowego Kentucky, gdzie założył warowną osadę , wówczas jedyne zamieszkane przez białych miejsce, a zarazem stolica Transylvanii. Transylvania przestała istnieć z chwilą, gdy Wirginia unieważniła zakup Hendersona w roku 1776.
