Burlington was the stop-gap capital; Iowa City was designated as the official territorial capital in 1847. Further up it says the territory b/c a state in 1846...Hmmm. jengod 22:38, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

76.102.31.185 (talk) 06:30, 21 March 2008 (UTC) Following wording is very unclear and the dates don't jive with the first para of the article: What was to become Illinois Territory was a portion of the larger Northwest Territory from 13 July 1787 until 4 July 1800, when the Indiana Territory was formed as Ohio prepared to become a state. On 3 February 1809, the 10th United States Congress passed legislation establishing Illinois Territory, after Congress received petitions from residents in the far western areas complaining of the difficulties of participating in territorial affairs. There were fed-recognized Territories within fed-recognized Territories? 76.102.31.185 (talk) 06:30, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what is unclear. The text you quote above describes the formation of the Illinois Territory. This article is about the Iowa Territory. Iowa was never officially a part of the Illinois Territory. older ≠ wiser 11:50, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
