Utah Territory's at-large congressional district
Obsolete district
Created1850, as a non-voting delegate was granted by Congress
Eliminated1896, as a result of statehood
Years active1850–1896

Utah Territory's at-large congressional district is an obsolete congressional district that encompassed the area of the Utah Territory. After Utah's admission to the Union as the 45th state by act of Congress on January 4, 1896, this district was dissolved and replaced by Utah's at-large congressional district.

List of delegates representing the district

[edit]

On September 9, 1850, an act of Congress gave Utah Territory the authority to elect a congressional delegate,[1] though the first delegate did not take his seat until 1851. The territorial delegates were elected to two-year terms. Delegates were allowed to serve on committees, debate, and submit legislation, but were not permitted to vote on bills.[2]
