AREA HISTORY

The area of northeastern Wyoming is steeped in frontier history, where the rugged landscapes of the Black Hills served as a backdrop for early cattle drives, timber harvesting, and railroad expansion. Sundance, founded in the 1870s, gained fame as the town where the Sundance Kid earned his notorious nickname after a stint in the local jail. Upton, established in the early 20th century, became a vital shipping point for livestock, coal, and timber thanks to the arrival of the railroad. Together, these communities reflect the resilient spirit of the West, rooted in ranching, resourcefulness, and a deep connection to the land.
