Wyoming’s Early History and Territorial Growth
Bancroft notes Wyoming’s 1868 congressional act establishing the territory. John A. Campbell became governor in 1869, with districts arranged by proclamation in May. The 1867 Cheyenne court opened by John M. Howe, while S. F. Nuckolls won the 1867 delegate election. The 60 day legislature built a solid legal code and the territory faced funding challenges but grew into thriving towns and farms.
