The Sixth Michigan Territorial Council was a meeting of the legislative body governing Michigan Territory, known formally as the Legislative Council of the Territory of Michigan. The council met in Detroit in two regular sessions, one extra session, and one special session between January 7, 1834, and August 25, 1835, during the terms of George B. Porter and Stevens T. Mason as territorial governors. In addition to the regular business of governing the territory, during these sessions the council dealt with a number of matters related to Michigan's desire for statehood, including petitioning both the United States Congress and President Andrew Jackson for action on the matter, organizing a census of the territory, trying to find a resolution of the ongoing dispute with Ohio known as the Toledo War, and calling a state constitutional convention in order to force Congress to act. This was the final meeting of the territorial council in its role as the legislative body for all of Michigan Territory. The people of the portion of the territory east of Lake Michigan ratified a state constitution in 1835 that created a new Michigan Legislature, elections for which were held that same year. A 7th Michigan Territorial Council, also known as the Rump Council, was convened in 1836, but was composed of members only from that portion of the territory not governed by the new constitution, which later became the Wisconsin Territory.
