At various times Wyoming was claimed by Great Britain, France, Spain, Mexico, and Texas. The portion of Wyoming east of the Continental Divide was claimed by the United States with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. In the Oregon Treaty of 1846, the portion of the Wyoming Territory west of the continental divide and north of the 42nd parallel was claimed by the United States. The southwestern corner of what became the Wyoming Territory, south of the 42nd parallel, became part of the United States with the 1848 Mexican Cessation.

What parts of Wyoming were in Texas?
The Republic of Texas claimed a small portion of present day south central Wyoming from 1836 to 1850, although that claim was disputed by Mexico. The exact location is difficult to determine because it was based on the headwaters of the Arkansas River, which were not known to the Republic of Texas at the time. One suggestion is that the area claimed by the Republic of Texas is roughly what is now Carbon County in Wyoming.
