On 25 June 1863, American consul George Seward signed an agreement with the head of Shanghai County, Huang Fang (黃芳), to create the American Concession in Shanghai, which also confirmed the boundary of the area. [1] On 21 September 1863, the American area was merged with the British as the Shanghai International Settlement.
The Shanghai International Settlement (Chinese: 上海公共租界) originated from the 1863 merger of the British and American enclaves in Shanghai, in which British and American citizens would enjoy extraterritoriality and consular jurisdiction under the terms of unequal treaties agreed by both parties. These treaties were abrogated in 1943.
