Wyoming, Wyoming's borders are lines of latitude, 41N and 45N,

and longitude, 1043'W and 1113'W (27 W and 34 W of the

Washington Meridian), making the shape of the state a latitude-

longitude quadrangle.[5] Wyoming is one of only three states (along

with Colorado and Utah) to have borders along only straight latitudinal

and longitudinal lines, rather than being defined by natural landmarks.

Due to surveying inaccuracies during the 19th century, Wyoming's legal

border deviates from the true latitude and longitude lines by up to half of amile (0.8 km) in some spots, especially in the mountainous region along

the 45th parallel.[6] Wyoming is bordered on the north by Montana, on the

east by South Dakota and Nebraska, on the south by Colorado, on the

southwest by Utah, and on the west by Idaho. It is the tenth largest state in

the United States in total area, containing 97,814 square miles

(253,340 km2) and is made up of 23 counties. From the north border to the

south border it is 276 miles (444 km);[7] and from the east to the west

border is 365 miles (587 km) at its south end and 342 miles (550 km) at the

north end.

Mountain ranges

The Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming. The state is a

great plateau broken by many mountain ranges. Surface elevations range

from the summit of Gannett Peak in the Wind River Mountain Range, at

13,804 feet (4,207 m), to the Belle Fourche River valley in the states

northeast corner, at 3,125 feet (953 m). In the northwest are the Absaroka,

Owl Creek, Gros Ventre, Wind River and the Teton ranges. In the northcentral are the Big Horn Mountains; in the northeast, the Black Hills; and in

the southern region the Laramie, Snowy and Sierra Madre ranges.

The Snowy Range in the south central part of the state is an extension of

the Colorado Rockies in both geology and appearance. The Wind River Range in the west central part of the state is

remote and includes more than 40 mountain peaks in excess of 13,000 ft (4,000 m) tall in addition to Gannett Peak,

the highest peak in the state. The Big Horn Mountains in the north central portion are somewhat isolated from the bulk

Wyoming terrain

o e oc y oun ans.

The Teton Range in the northwest extends for 50 miles (80 km), part of

which is included in Grand Teton National Park. The park includes the

Grand Teton, the second highest peak in Wyoming.

The Continental Divide spans north-south across the central portion of the

state. Rivers east of the divide drain into the Missouri River Basin and

eventually the Gulf of Mexico. They are the North Platte, Wind, Big Horn

and the Yellowstone rivers. The Snake River in northwest Wyomingeventually drains into the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean, as does

the Green River through the Colorado River Basin.

The continental divide forks in the south central part of the state in an area

known as the Great Divide Basin where the waters that flow or precipitate

into this area remain there and cannot flow to any ocean. Instead, because

of the overall aridity of Wyoming, water in the Great Divide Basin simply sinks into the soil or evaporates.

Several rivers begin or flow through the state, including the Yellowstone River, Bighorn River, Green River, and the

Snake River.

Islands

Main article: List of islands of Wyoming

Wyoming has 32 named islands, of which the majority are located in Jackson Lake and Yellowstone Lake within

Yellowstone National Park in the northwest portion of the state. Green River in the southwest also contains a number

of islands.

Public lands

More than 48% of the land in Wyoming is owned by

the U.S. Government, leading Wyoming to rank sixth

in the U.S. in total acres and fifth in percentage of a

state's land owned by the federal government. [8] This

amounts to about 30,099,430 acres (121,808.1 km2)

owned and managed by the U.S. Government. The

Wyoming's climate is generally semi-arid and continental (Kppen climate

classificationBSk), and is drier and windier in comparison to most of the

United States with greater temperature extremes. Much of this is due to the

topography of the state. Summers in Wyoming are warm with July high

temperatures averaging between 85 F (29 C) and 95 F (35 C) in most of

the state. With increasing elevation, however, this average drops rapidly

with locations above 9,000 feet (2,700 m) averaging around 70 F (21 C).

Summer nights throughout the state are characterized by a rapid cooldown

with even the hottest locations averaging in the 5060 F (1016 C) range

at night. In most of the state, most of the precipitation tends to fall in the

late spring and early summer. Winters are cold, but are variable with

periods of sometimes extreme cold interspersed between generally mild

periods, with Chinook winds providing unusually warm temperatures insome locations. Wyoming is a dry state with much of the land receiving

less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rainfall per year. Precipitation depends on

elevation with lower areas in the Big Horn Basin averaging 58 inches (130

200 mm) (making the area nearly a true desert). The lower areas in the North and on the eastern plains typically

average around 1012 inches (250300 mm), making the climate there semi-arid. Some mountain areas do receive a

good amount of precipitation, 20 inches (510 mm) or more, much of it as snow, sometimes 200 inches (510 cm) or

more annually. The states highest recorded temperature is 114 F (46 C) at Basin on July 12, 1900 and the lowest

recorded temperature is 66 F (54 C) at Riverside on February 9, 1933.

The number of thunderstorm days vary across the state with the southeastern plains of the state having the most days

of thunderstorm activity. Thunderstorm activity in the state is highest during the late spring and early summer. The

southeastern corner of the state is the most vulnerable part of the state to tornado activity. Moving away from that point

and westwards, the incidence of tornadoes drops dramatically with the west part of the state showing little

vulnerability. Tornadoes, where they occur, tend to be small and brief, unlike some of those that occur a little further

east.

History

Main article: History of Wyoming

Several American Indian groups originally inhabited the region now known

as Wyoming. The Crow, Arapaho, Lakota, and Shoshone were but a few of

the original inhabitants encountered whenwhite explorers first entered the

region. What is now southwestern Wyoming became a part of the Spanish

Empire and later Mexican territory of Alta California, until it was ceded to

the United States in 1848 at the end of the Mexican-American War. French-

Canadian trappers from Qubec and Montral ventured into the state in the

late 18th century, leaving French toponyms such as Tton, La Ramie, etc.John Colter, a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, itself guided by

French Canadian Toussaint Charbonneau and his young Shoshone wife,

Sacagawea, first described the region in 1807. At the time, his reports of

the Yellowstone area were considered to be fict ional. Robert Stuart and a

party of five men returning from Astoria discovered South Pass in 1812. The

Oregon Trail later followed that route. In 1850, Jim Bridger located what is now known as Bridger Pass, which the

Union Pacific Railroad used in 1868as did Interstate 80, in ninety years' time. Bridger also explored Yellowstone and

filed reports on the region that, like those of Colter, were largely regarded as tall tales at the time.

The region had acquired the name Wyoming by 1865, when Representative J. M. Ashley of Ohio introduced a bill to

Congress to provide a "temporary government for the territory of Wyoming". The name Wyoming derives from the

Munsee namexw:wamnk, meaning "at the big river flat", but it was also named after the Wyoming Valley in

Pennsylvania, made famous by the 1809 poem Gertrude of Wyoming by Thomas Campbell.[11][12]

After the Union Pacific Railroad had reached the town of Cheyenne in 1867, the region's population began to grow

steadily, and the federal government established the Wyoming Territory on July 25, 1868.[13] Unlike mineral-rich

Colorado, Wyoming lacked significant deposits of gold and silver, as well as Colorado's subsequent population boom.However, South Pass City did experience a short-lived boom after the Carissa Mine began producing gold in 1867). [14]

Furthermore, copper was mined in some areas between the Sierra Madre Mountains and the Snowy Range near Grand

Encampment.[15]

Once government-sponsored expeditions to the Yellowstone country began, reports by Colter and Bridger, previously

believed to be apocryphal, were found to be true. This led to the creation of Yellowstone National Park, which became

the world's first national park in 1872. Nearly all of Yellowstone National Park l ies within the far northwestern borders of

Wyoming.

On December 10, 1869, territorial Gov. John Allen Campbell extended the right to vote to women, making Wyoming

the first U.S. state to grant suffrage to women. In addition, Wyoming was also a pioneer in welcoming women into

politics. Women first served on juries in Wyoming (Laramie in 1870); Wyoming had the first female court bailiff (Mary

Atkinson, Laramie, in 1870); and the first femalejustice of the peace in the country (Esther Hobart Morris, South Pass

City, in 1870). Also, in 1924, Wyoming became the first state to elect a female governor, Nellie Tayloe Ross, who took

office in January 1925. (In fact, Wyoming and Texas both elected female governors at the same time, but Wyoming's

took office a few days before Texas's.)[16] Due to its civil-rights history, Wyoming's state nickname is "The Equality

State", and the official state motto is "Equal Rights". [17]

Wyoming's constitution includedwomen's suffrage and a pioneering article onwater rights.[18] The United States

admitted Wyoming into the Union as the 44th state on July 10, 1890. [17]

Wyoming was the location of the Johnson County War of 1892, on which the controversial 1980 film Heaven's Gate

was based, which erupted between competing groups of cattle ranchers. The passage of the federal Homestead Act

led to an influx of small ranchers. A range war broke out when either or both of the groups chose violent conflict over

Demographics

Population

The United States Census Bureau estimates that the population of Wyoming was

568,158 on July 1, 2011, a 0.80% increase since the 2010 United States Census.[1]

The center of population of Wyoming is located in Natrona County.[21]

According to the 2010 Census, 90.7% of the population was White (85.9% non-

Hispanic white), 0.8% was Black or African American, 2.4% American Indian and

Alaska Native, 0.8% Asian, 0.1% Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander, 2.2%

from two or more races. 8.9% of the total population was of Hispanic or Latino origin

(they may be of any race).[22]

As of 2005, Wyoming had an estimated population of 509,293, which was an increase

of 3,407, or 0.7%, from the prior year and an increase of 15,512, or 3.1%, since the

2000 census. This includes a natural increase since the last census of 12,165 people

(that is 33,704 births minus 21,539 deaths) and an increase from net migration of4,035 people into the state. Immigration from outside the United States resulted in a

net increase of 2,264 people, and migration within the country produced a net increase

of 1,771 people. In 2004, the foreign-born population was 11,000 (2.2%). In 2005, total

births in Wyoming numbered 7,231 (Birth Rate of 14.04).[23] Sparsely populated,

Wyoming is the least populous (total number of people) state of the United States,

and has the second lowest population density, behind Alaska. It is the only state with

a smaller population than the nation's capital, Washington, D.C..

Wyomings gross state product was $27.4 billion.

As of January 2010, the state's unemployment rate is 7.6%. [26]

Components of Wyoming's economy differ significantly from those of other

states.

The mineral extraction industry and travel and tourism sector are the main

drivers behind Wyomings economy. The federal government owns about

50% of its landmass, while 6% is controlled by the state. Total taxable

values of mining production in Wyoming for 2001 was over $6.7 billion. Thetourism industry accounts for over $2 billion in revenue for the state.

In 2002, more than six million people visited Wyomings national parks and

monuments. The key tourist attractions in Wyoming include Grand Teton

National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Devils Tower National Monument, Independence Rock and Fossil Butte

National Monument. Each year Yellowstone National Park, the world's first national park, receives three million visitors.

Historically, agriculture has been an important component of Wyomings economy. Its overall importance to the

performance of Wyomings economy has waned. However, agriculture is still an essential part of Wyomings culture

and lifestyle. The main agricultural commodities produced in Wyoming include livestock (beef), hay, sugar beets, grain

(wheat and barley), andwool. More than 91% of land in Wyoming is classified as rural.

Mineral production

Wyomings mineral commodities include coal, natural gas, coalbed

methane, crude oil, uranium, and trona.

Coal: Wyoming produced 395.5 million short tons (358.8 million metric

tons) of coal in 2004. The state is the number one producer of coal in

the U.S.[27] Wyoming possesses a reserve of 68.7 billion tons (62.3

billion metric tons) of coal. Major coal areas include the Powder River

Basin and the Green River Basin

Natural gas: Wyoming produced 2,254 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in

2007. The state ranked 2nd nationwide for natural gas production in

2007.[28] The major markets for natural gas include industrial,

commercial, and domestic heating.

Coal Bed Methane (CBM): The boom for CBM began in the mid-1990s.

CBM is characterized as methane gas that is extracted from

Wyomings coal bed seams. It is another means of natural gas

production. There has been substantial CBM production in the Powder

River Basin. In 2002, the CBM production yield was 327.5 billion cubic

feet (9.3 km).

Crude oil: Wyoming produced 53,400,000 barrels (8,490,000 m3) of

crude oil in 2007. The state ranked 5th nationwide in oil production in2007.[28] Petroleum is most often used as a motor fuel, but it is also

utilized in the manufacture of plastics, paints, and synthetic rubber.

Trona: Wyoming possesses the largest known reserve of trona in the

world[29] Trona is used for manufacturing glass, paper, soaps, baking

soda, water softeners, and pharmaceuticals. In 2008 Wyoming

produced 46 million short tons (41.7 million metric tons) of trona, 25% of

the world's production.[29]

Diamonds: The Kelsey Lake Diamond Mine, located in Colorado less

than 1,000 feet (300 m) from the Wyoming border, produced gem quality diamonds for several years. The Wyoming

craton, which hosts the kimberlitevolcanic pipes that were mined, underlies most of Wyoming.

Uranium: Although uranium mining in Wyoming is much less active than it was in previous decades, recent

increases in the price of uranium have generated new interest in uranium prospecting and mining.

Taxes

Wyoming receives more federal tax dollars per capita in aid than any other state except Alaska. The federal aid per

capita in Wyoming is more than double the U.S. average. [30] Unlike most other states, Wyoming does not levy an

individual or corporate income tax. In addition, Wyoming does not assess any tax on retirement income earned andreceived from another state. Wyoming has a state sales tax of 4%. Counties have the option of collect ing an additional

1% tax for general revenue and a 1% tax for specific purposes, if approved by voters. Food for human consumption is

not subject to sales tax.[31] There also is a county lodging tax that varies from 2% to 5%. The state collects a use tax

of 5% on items purchased elsewhere and brought into Wyoming. All property tax is based on the assessed value of

the property and Wyoming's Department of Revenue's Ad Valorem Tax Division supports, t rains, and guides local

government agencies in the uniform assessment, valuation and taxation of locally assessed property. "Assessed

value" means taxable value; "taxable value" means a percent of the fair market value of property in a particular class .

Statutes limit property tax increases. For county revenue, the property tax rate cannot exceed 12 mills (or 1.2%) of

assessed value. For cities and towns, the rate is limited to 8 mills (0.8%). With very few exceptions, state law limits

the property tax rate for all governmental purposes.

Personal property held for personal use is tax-exempt. Inventory if held for resale, pollution control equipment, cash,

accounts receivable, stocks and bonds are also exempt. Other exemptions include property used for religious,

educational, charitable, fraternal, benevolent and government purposes and improvements for handicapped access.

Mine lands, underground mining equipment, and oil and gas extraction equipment are exempt from property tax but

companies must pay a gross products tax on minerals and a severance tax on mineral production.[32]

[33]

Wyoming does not collect inheritance taxes. Because of the phase-out of the federal estate tax credit, Wyoming's

estate tax is not imposed on estates of persons who died in 2005. There is limited estate tax related to federal estate

tax collection.

In 2008, the Tax Foundation ranked Wyoming as having the single most "business friendly" tax climate of all 50

states.[34] Wyoming state and local governments in fiscal year 2007 collected $2.242 billion in taxes, levies, and

royalties from the oil and gas industry. The state's mineral industry, including oil, gas, trona, and coal provided $1.3

billion in property taxes from 2006 mineral production.[28]

Transportation

The largest airport in Wyoming is Jackson Hole Airport, with

over 500 employees.[35] Three interstate highways and

thirteen U.S. highways pass through Wyoming. In addition,

the state is served by the Wyoming state highway system.

Interstate 25 enters the state south of Cheyenne and runs

north, intersecting Interstate 80 in Cheyenne. It passesthrough Casper and ends at Interstate 90 near Buffalo.

Interstate 80 crosses the Utah border west of Evanston and

runs east through the southern half of the state, passing

through Cheyenne before entering Nebraska near Pine Bluffs.

Interstate 90 comes into Wyoming near Parkman and cuts

through the northern part of the state. It serves Gillette and

enters South Dakota east of Sundance.

Wyoming is one of only two states (the other being South Dakota) in the 48 contiguous states not served by Amtrak.

Wind River Indian Reservation

Main article: Wind River Indian Reservation

The Wind River Indian Reservation is shared by the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes of Native

Americans in the central western portion of the state near Lander. The reservation is home to 2,500 Eastern Shoshone

and 5,000 Northern Arapaho.[36]

Chief Washakie established the reservation in 1868[37] as the result of negotiations with the federal government in the

Fort Bridger Treaty.[38] However, the Northern Arapaho were forced onto the Shoshone reservation in 1876 by the

federal government after the government failed to provide a promised separate reservation. [38]

Today the Wind River Indian Reservation is jointly owned, with each tribe having a 50% interest in the land, water, andother natural resources.[39] The reservation is a sovereign, self-governed land with two independent governing bodies:

the Eastern Shoshone Tribal Government and the Northern Arapaho Tribal Government. The Eastern Shoshone

Business Council meets jointly with the Northern Arapaho Business Council as the Joint Business Council to decide

matters that affect both tribes. [37] Six elected council members from each tribe serve on the joint council.

State law and government

Wyoming's Constitution established three branches of government: the executive, legislative, andjudicial branches.

The Wyoming state legislature comprises a House of Representatives with 60 members and a Senate with 30

members.

The executive branch is headed by the governor and includes a secretary of state, auditor, treasurer and

superintendent of public instruction. Wyoming does not have a lieutenant governor. Instead the secretary of state

stands first in the line of succession.

Wyoming's sparse population warrants it only a single at-large seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, and hence

only three votes in the Electoral College Its low population renders Wyoming voters effectively more powerful in

only three votes in the Electoral College. Its low population renders Wyoming voters effectively more powerful in

presidential elections than those in more populous states. For example, while Montana had a 2010 census population

of 989,415 to Wyoming's 563,626, they both have the same number of electoral votes.

Wyoming is an alcoholic beverage control s tate.

Judicial system

Wyoming's highest court is the Supreme Court of Wyoming, with five just ices presiding over appeals from the s tate's

lower courts. Wyoming is unusual in that it does not have an intermediate appellate court, like most states. This islargely attributable to the state's size and correspondingly lower caseload. Appeals from the state district courts go

directly to the Wyoming Supreme Court. Wyoming also has state circuit courts (formerly county courts), of limited

jurisdiction, which handle certain types of cases, such as c ivil claims with lower dollar amounts, misdemeanor criminal

offenses, and felonyarraignments. Circuit court judges also commonly hear small claims cases as well. All state court

judges in Wyoming are nominated by the Judicial Nominating Commission and appointed by the Governor. They are

then subject to a retention vote by the electorate.

Politics

Wyoming's political history defies easy classification. The state was the

first to grant women the right to vote and to elect a woman governor.[41]

On December 10, 1869, John Allen Campbell, the first Governor of the

Wyoming Territory, approved the first law in United States his tory

explicitly granting women the right to vote. This day was later

commemorated as Wyoming Day.[42]

On November 5, 1889, voters approved the first constitution in the world

granting full voting rights to women,[43] and in 1924, Wyoming voters

elected Nellie Tayloe Ross as the first woman governor in the United

States.[44]

While the state elected notable Democrats to federal office in the 1960s

and 1970s, politics have become decidedly more conservative since the

1980s as the Republican party came to dominate the state's

congressional delegation. Today, Wyoming is represented in Washington

by its two Senators, Mike Enzi and John Barrasso, and its one member

of the House of Representatives Congresswoman Cynthia Lummis All

of the House of Representatives, Congresswoman Cynthia Lummis. All

three are Republicans. The state has not voted for a Democrat for

president since 1964, one of only five times since statehood. At present,

there are only two relatively reliably Democratic counties: affluent Teton

and college county Albany. In the 2004 presidential election, George W.

Bush won his second-largest victory, with 69% of the vote. Former Vice

President Dick Cheney is a Wyoming resident and represented the state in Congress from 1979 to 1989.

Republicans are no less dominant at the state level. They have held a majority in the state senate continuously since1936 and in the state house since 1964. However, Democrats have held the governorship for all but eight years

between 1975 and 2011. Uniquely, Wyoming elected Democrat Nellie Tayloe Ross as the first woman in U.S. history

to serve as state governor. She served from 1925 to 1927 after winning a special election after her husband, governor at

the time, unexpectedly died.[45]
