List of Colorado legislatures
The General Assembly of the State of Colorado has convened many times since statehood.For a brief time in 1865, Colorado had an approved state constitution, and selected a legislature and other elected officials.The legislature briefly convened, believing that their statehood had been approved.However, Andrew Johnson vetoed the corresponding enabling act, and the body that met as the state legislature was disbanded.[citation needed] "The first legislative session met from November 1, 1876, through March 20, 1877, and the succeeding sessions met every two years in the odd numbered years: 1879, 1881, 1883, etc., until 1950.
