In 1859 during the Colorado Gold Rush, discontented miners voted to go north and form their own territory.  Within their Jefferson Territory, they designated Cheyenne County, naming it for the Cheyenne Nation of Native Americans.  However, the United States government did not recognize their organization when it created the Territory of Wyoming in 1860 and they created Laramie County in 1867.  By 1900, the population of Laramie County reached 20,000 and it grew to 50,000 by 1950.  

The county experiences dramatic weather changes and natural landscapes.  From mild summers to winter blizzards in the Snowy Range, Laramie County invites a variety of wildlife, camping visitors, and city folk who want to ride horses or herd cattle in the clean mountain air.  Recreation from skiing in the Tetons to Gold Medal fishing and fly-fishing to canoeing over a lake and hiking in the mountains, adventure on an elk hunt.  Cheyenne offers everything from rodeo to symphony.
