The dates of the first legislature in the US are lost in history. Both the Cherokee and the five tribes of the Indians of New York had legislatures. The Indians of the 5 tribes discussed their federation with George Washington during the Revolutionary War. It was quite similar to the Federal Constitution developed by the Constitutional Convention of the United States.
As far as English Speaking Colonies are concerned, The House of Burgesses met in Virginia in 1619.
