Jefferson Territory
The Territory of Jefferson was an extralegal, unrecognized territory of the United States that existed from October 24, 1859, until the creation of the Territory of Colorado on February 28, 1861. The government of the territory, while democratically elected, was never recognized by the United States Government, although it managed the territory with relatively free reign for 16 months.
