Became territory: March 3, 1863

Only a small number of railroad companies have incorporated in the state. If it weren't for companies that incorporated elsewhere and operated within the state, the would be an almost impossible state to specialize in. It is possible that several mining companies have not yet been recognized as peripheral railroad operators. No certificates are yet recorded with the state seal.
