Wikipedia, July 25, 2019 (Wyoming Territory; the Territory of Wyoming was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from July 25, 1868 until July 10, 1890, when it was admitted to the Union as the State of Wyoming; Cheyenne was the territorial capitol; the boundaries of the Wyoming Territory were identical to the modern State of Wyoming; at the time of its formation, it took land from the Dakota, Idaho, and Utah Territories; because of Wyoming’s location as part of the Louisiana Purchase, the Oregon Country, and the Mexican Cession, the land which became Wyoming has a complicated history of territorial relationships; portions of the territory, which eventually fell under Wyoming’s jurisdiction, were at various points associated with the territories of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Dakota, Nebraska, and Utah, and had previously belonged to the independent states of Great Britain, France, Spain, Mexico, and Texas)
