Description and Holding Information

Laws of the Territory/State of Washington enacted by the Legislative Assembly in the year ____: title varies, 1854–, Olympia, var. state printers,
1854–. (The pre-statehood history of present-day Washington was mostly bound up with a larger area called the Oregon territory. At the end of the
eighteenth century the phrase “Oregon Territory ” signified a vast but amorphous area stretching from somewhere above the Spanish settlements in California
to somewhere below the Russian settlements in Alaska, and including everything between the Rockies and the Pacific. Spain, Russia, Great Britain, and
the United States all made equally nebulous claims on the area. By 1818 the lack of forces on the ground having rendered the Spanish claims
untenable, the United States and Great Britain attempted to exclude all other parties by signing a Convention of Joint Occupation. The reality of the latter
was confirmed in 1821, when Russia agreed to limit its settlements to areas within present-day Alaska. The joint U.S./U.K. occupation kept the peace for
a decade or two while the area was virtually unpopulated. A legislature of sorts functioned in the more American part of the territory during
1844-49. The laws adopted by that body can be found in the compiled laws of Oregon, 1853. By the mid-1840s there were sufficient American settlers in the
southern portions of the condominium that determining who was in charge came near to being a causus belli. Fortunately, in 1846 President Polk negotiated
a treaty that conceded everything north of the forty-nine parallel, and all of Vancouver Island, to Great Britain. In 1848 Congress organized
everything south of the forty-nine parallel as the Territory of Oregon. The Territory of Oregon Legislative Assembly first met in July of 1849. In 1854 the
area comprising the present-day State of Washington had been severed off and organized into Washington Territory. The first session of the Washington
Territory Legislative Assembly met in December, 1854. Statehood came on 22 February 1889, with the first session of the Washington State Legislative
Assembly meeting in December 1889.) (Documents which are part of the Early State Records collection were digitized from a microfilm copy of title
originally held by the Library of Congress and the Washington State Library).
