History: Wyoming Takes First Steps Toward Statehood 136 Years Ago

Wyoming officially became a state in June of 1890. But before it could be admitted to the union, there was much work to be done by the territorial government of 1888. The first thing to be done was to introduce a bill to Congress. That happened 136 years ago this month.
