The Alabama Territory was a historic, organized territory of the United States that was formed by the eastern portion of the Mississippi Territory. "Timeline 1811-1820" (events +sources), Algis Ratnikas, Timelines of History, 2007, webpage: [http://timelines.ws/1811_1820.HTML TL-Miss] .] The territory was organized March 3, 1817, shortly before Mississippi became a state.

History

Located in the central area of the Alabama Territory, St. Stephens, on the Tombigbee River, was the only territorial capital. William Wyatt Bibb was the only territorial governor.

On December 14, 1819 — just two years and nine months after the territory was organized — Alabama was admitted to the union as the 22nd U.S. state.
