State information

The capital of Wyoming – Cheyenne

The capital of the state of Wyoming is the city of Cheyenne. The city was founded in 1867 and today, with about 60,000 inhabitants, is the largest city in the state of Wyoming.

The city was founded in 1867 on the site of the then Union Pacific Railway, which was to cross one of the tributaries of the South Platte River. It was named after the Cheyenne tribe, one of the most famous tribes of the Indians of the Great Plains. It is located in the southeastern tip of the state of Wyoming.

After the railway arrived in the city in 1867, the city began to grow rapidly; this development was further supported by the opening of gold deposits near the city. Two years later, in 1869, Cheyenne was designated the capital of the then territory of Wyoming and, after the establishment of the official state, its capital.

Today, Cheyenne is Wyoming’s largest shopping center. As in other American capitals, the Capitol building and the Supreme Court building, which houses a historical museum and library, are worth seeing.
