 What is Wyoming Places?

 Wyoming Places is a source for information on Wyoming place names. It is a

 project of the Wyoming State Library and the University of Wyoming Libraries using

 sources available from the collections of the libraries, the Wyoming State Archives

 and other research facilities.

 Official Geographic names are designated by the US Board on Geographic Names in

 partnership with the Wyoming Geographic Names Board. This project uses the official

 names but tells the stories about the names. Often there is more than one story about

 how a place got its name or a place has more than one name.

 and there are many places that are not described. Please contact us if you have additions.
