Women of Utah Territory voted in their first election on Valentine’s Day, 1870.
It was the first time American women voted since New Jersey women lost the right in 1807. Wyoming women also had the right to vote, but had not held an election yet since women were enfranchised.
To learn when American women across the United States were enfranchised, before or after the Nineteenth Amendment, see When did women in your state get the right to vote?
