Cheyenne
The capital of Wyoming was named after the Cheyenne Native Americans who inhabited present day South-Eastern Wyoming. In Cheyenne's early days, city dudes mingled with mule skinners, soldiers, rail-roaders, lawmakers, sheriffs, rustlers, stage drivers and outlaws.
The city is situated in the midst of rich, nutritious grasslands which have always been excellent natural forage for cattle. Learn about early rodeos and 19th-century passenger wagons at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum or discover the labyrinth that is the botanic gardens.
