5th Utah Territorial Legislature


The 5th Utah Territorial Legislature was elected on August 6, 1855.

Session

The legislative session convened on December 10, 1855, at the Territorial Statehouse in Fillmore and concluded on January 18, 1856. Although Fillmore was designated as the territorial seat of government in 1851, the Statehouse was only partially completed, making this the first legislature to meet there. It was the only complete session held in Fillmore, as subsequent sessions returned to meeting in Salt Lake City.
