\"Colorado<\/a>Colorado Territory Notary Laws, 1861<\/h1>\n

Colorado Territory<\/strong> was formed in 1861 from parts of Kansas<\/strong> Territory, Nebraska<\/strong> Territory, New Mexico<\/strong> Territory, and Utah<\/strong>\u00a0Territory. The territory was formed in response to a massive influx of settlers to the Rocky Mountain region seeking their fortunes during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush<\/strong>. Colorado Territory lasted\u00a0until Colorado Statehood<\/strong><\/a><\/span> was approved in 1876<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There were 17 original counties<\/strong> and a Cheyenne\/Arapahoe Indian Reservation<\/strong> in eastern Colorado. (See map below). The original counties were:<\/p>\n

Arapahoe, Boulder, Clear Creek, Conejos, Costilla, Douglas, El Paso, Fremont, Gilpin, Huerfano, Jefferson, Lake, Larimer, Park, Pueblo,\u00a0Summit,\u00a0Weld.<\/p>\n

The first session of the legislature passed laws, including notary laws<\/strong>. The Governor<\/strong> appointed one or more\u00a0notaries<\/strong> for each county. Women could not vote or hold public office until 1893.<\/p>\n

Below are the original Colorado Territory notary laws of 1861.<\/p>\n
