Here is a brief introduction to the state of Wyoming.

Capital City: Cheyenne
Nicknames: Equality State, Cowboy State

Population over 500.00 residents

State’s Flag: The state flag, adopted in 1917, shows the state seal branded onto a buffalo. The seal acclaims equal rights for women. The red border of the flag represents Indians and the blood of the pioneers.

          Wild and windswept, the high country and the open plains of this Western state have barely been touched by human hands. With just over a half million people, Wyoming ranks last in population of all the states. Lonely though it may seem, every year some 7 million people visit Wyoming for its unrivaled natural wonders.

          John Colter explores Yellowstone area in 1807. In 1812 Robert Stuart discovers South Pass across Rocky Mountains. In 1833 Oil is discovered near Wind River Range. In 1834 Fort Laramie, the area’s first permanent white settlement, is built on Oregon Trail.

          It wasn’t until the completion of the transcontinental railroad in the southern part of the state in 1869 that white settlers found much use for Wyoming. To ready the animals for fall shipment to eastern stockyards by rail, cattlemen from Texas began to drive their herds north to spend their summers grazing the grasslands of southern and eastern Wyoming. With the herds came a decade of prosperity for the state, and not a few skirmishes between cattle men, homesteading farmers, rustlers, and sheepherders, whose flocks competed with Texas longhorns for foraging and grazing land. The hostilities reached a peak in 1892, when a group of ranchers banded together to flush out a suspected rustler enclave and killed two men. The U.S. Cavalry was called in, and order was quickly restored, but the incident-known as the Johnson County War-confirmed Wyoming’s reputation as a rough-and-tumble vigilante territory. At the heart of the cattle rancher’s enterprise was the cowboy himself, a solitary figure on the horizon, willing to brave hostile Indians, murderous rustlers, and ferocious weather to protect his herd. The cowboy is still king in Wyoming, and ranching remains a major industry, but today’s cowhands may well be Latin American vaqueros.

          In 1906 Devil’s Tower is declared first national monument. In 1925 Nellie Tayloe Ross becomes first woman governor in U.S. In 1951-1952 Uranium is discovered in several areas of Wyoming.  In 1960 First intercontinental ballistic missile base begins operation near Cheyenne. In 1965 Minuteman-missile installation opens near Cheyenne. In 1995 Wolves are reintroduced in Yellowstone. In 2000 Dick Cheney is elected vice president of the U.S.
