        The Dakota Territory was organized in 1861 and included all of what is now North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. Settlers began to come to the area after the first Homestead Act which gave free land to settlers.  But settlement was delayed by the Civil War and the Indian wars. in 1864, the Montana Territory was organized which included what is now Montana and Wyoming.  The Dakota Territory was divided into North Dakota and South Dakota in 1873, but North Dakota did not become a state until 1889.  Consequently, the earliest censuses for this area is for the Dakota Territory.  There are no Clovers in the index for 1860.
