The Territory of Florida was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from March 30, 1822,[1] until March 3, 1845, when it was admitted to the Union as the State of Florida. Originally the major portion of the Spanish territory of La Florida, and later the provinces of East Florida and West Florida, it was ceded to the United States as part of the 1819 Adams–Onís Treaty.[2] It was governed by the Florida Territorial Council.
