Find your very own recreational property - or an authentic ranch - and your guests will be out hunting, hiking, fishing, and exploring. Though there are wildlife refuges and fish hatcheries, when you own your own stomping grounds, you will experience privacy and the freedom to mingle with nature and build your own—as you like them.
The state name means "at the big river flat," suggested by a settler to be named after a valley in Pennsylvania. Originally inhabited by Crow, Arapaho, Lakota, Shoshone, and other Native Americans, French trappers also ventured through the area. It was John Colter of the Lewis and Clark Expedition who in 1807 first described the sites. So incredible were his tales of Yellowstone that people considered them to be fiction. In the following decades and century, the Oregon Trail, Union Pacific Railroad, and Interstate 80 slowly delivered more and more residents to the region. So many disembarked at the train station in Cheyenne that after achieving statehood, that city was chosen as the capital.

Unlike Colorado to the south, the gold rush and other discoveries never resulted in a population boom. The rural state has historically relied on agriculture, including raising livestock, hay, sugar beets, wheat, barley, and wool - along with mining coal, natural gas, coal bed methane, crude oil, uranium, and trona - for commerce. And it relies on its people. All hands on deck in these parts. In fact, this is the first state to extend suffrage to women and many notable women have served in leadership positions over the past 150 years. Another nickname is "The Equity State."
The dry, cold climate is interspersed with mild periods, a variety that makes every day exciting. Perhaps only the hearty venture this direction. That is just fine with those who relocate here because they are looking for the simple beauty and majesty of Mother Nature. The quiet cities are American hubs with hometown communities and neighborhoods that appreciate the state flower, the Indian Paintbrush, its bison, Western Meadowlark, Plains Cottonwood trees, jade, Cutthroat Trout, Horned Toads, and the state's mythical creature: the Jackalope.
