One of the largest counties in Colorado, Jefferson County was originally its own territory. Originally governed by Kansas, the formerly much larger Jefferson territory attempted to become its own state after the Colorado gold rush. President Buchanan authorized the territory of Colorado instead, however, and statehood for Colorado had to wait until after the Civil War.
