In 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act created the Nebraska Territory, which included the present-day states of Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, and parts of Wyoming and Montana. The territory was divided into two parts, the northern part becoming the Dakota Territory and the southern part becoming the Nebraska Territory.
