First Nebraska Territorial Legislature
The First Nebraska Territorial Legislature first met in Omaha, Nebraska on January 15, 1855. The Council Bluffs and Nebraska Ferry Company provided the first meeting place, which was a building "constructed for public purposes." Standing out from the estimated twenty shacks in the young town, it was the first brick building in Omaha, which was founded the year before when the Nebraska Territory was created.〔Lawrence H. Larsen, Barbara J. Cottrell, Harl A. Dalstrom (2007) ''Upstream Metropolis: An Urban Biography of Omaha and Council Bluffs.'' University of Nebraska Press. p 47.〕 Responsible for several important decisions that laid an important foundation for future statehood for Nebraska, the Nebraska Territorial Legislature made controversial votes and provided significant leadership for the fledgling territory.

The first legislature, along with several subsequent gatherings, drew criticism for a perceived lack of representation of the population south of the Platte River.〔("More about Nebraska statehood, the location of the capital, and the story of the commissioner's homes" ), Nebraska State Historical Society. Retrieved 12/14/08.〕 Legislators from south of the Platte wore red blankets over their shoulders in the first session to indicate their hostility towards the northern legislators.〔Lawrence H. Larsen, Barbara J. Cottrell, Harl A. Dalstrom (2007) ''Upstream Metropolis: An Urban Biography of Omaha and Council Bluffs.'' University of Nebraska Press. p 47.〕
Although the then current Omaha capitol building, built in 1857-58, was apparently sturdy enough to house legislative sessions for several years and was well located in relation to Nebraska's 1867 population, it was still north of the Platte. Forces from the south launched a major verbal and legal initiative to move the seat of government to their part of the state.〔Lawrence H. Larsen, Barbara J. Cottrell, Harl A. Dalstrom (2007) ''Upstream Metropolis: An Urban Biography of Omaha and Council Bluffs.'' University of Nebraska Press. p 47.〕 The first Legislature was also responsible for chartering Nebraska University in Washington County.〔("Nebraska University" ), Nebraska State Historical Society. Retrieved 12/14/08.〕 Slavery in Nebraska was a topic of the first legislature, where members were largely influenced by events in neighboring Kansas. The first legislature considered an exclusion measure designed to keep former slaves from the territory. After the bill was postponed the issue continued to be raised, ultimately delaying statehood.〔Eugene H. Berwanger. (2002) ''The Frontier Against Slavery: Western Anti-Negro Prejudice and the Slavery Extension Controversy.'' University of Illinois Press, 2002. p. 120.〕
