The majority of the state is dominated by the mountain ranges and rangelands of the [[Rocky Mountains|Rocky Mountain West]], while the easternmost section of the state is a high [[altitude]] prairie region known as the [[High Plains (United States)|High Plains]]. As the tenth largest U.S. state by size, Wyoming is the least populous, with a [[United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census]] estimated population of 522,830 in 2007, a 5.9% increase since 2000.<ref name=PopEstStates>{{cite web | url = http://eadiv.state.wy.us/pop/st-07est.htm | title = Table 1: Annual Estimates of the Population for the United States, Regions, and States: April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2007 | work = 2007 Population Estimates | publisher = U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division | date = [[2007-12-27]] | accessdate = 2008-01-05 }}</ref> The [[capital]] and the most populous city of Wyoming is [[Cheyenne, Wyoming|Cheyenne]]. == Geography == ===Location and size=== 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 97,818&nbsp;square miles (253,348&nbsp;km²) and is made up of 23 counties. From the north border to the south border it is 276&nbsp;miles (444&nbsp;km); and from the east to the west border is 375 miles (603&nbsp;km). ===Mountain ranges=== The [[Great Plains]] meet the [[Rocky Mountains]] in Wyoming. The state is a great [[plateau]] broken by a number of mountain ranges. Surface elevations range from the summit of [[Gannett Peak]] in the [[Wind River Range|Wind River Mountain Range]], at 13,804 feet (4,207 m), to the [[Belle Fourche River Valley]] in the state’s northeast corner, at 3,125 feet (952 m). In the northwest are the [[Absaroka Range|Absaroka]], [[Owl Creek Mountains|Owl Creek]], Gros Ventre, Wind River and the [[Teton Range|Teton]] ranges. In the north central are the [[Big Horn Mountains]]; in the northeast, the [[Black Hills]]; and in the southern region the [[Laramie Mountains|Laramie]], Snowy and Sierra Madre ranges. {{wide image|ChiefJosephPassPanorama.jpg|1400px|<center>''[[Dead Indian Pass]], Wyoming''</center>}} The [[Medicine Bow Mountains|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 {{convert|13000|ft|m|abbr=on}} 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 of the Rocky Mountains. [[Image:RanchWY.jpg|thumb|right|Ranch road in eastern Wyoming]] The [[Teton Range]] in the northwest extends for 50&nbsp;miles (80&nbsp;km) and represents the most impressive section of mountains in the state. It is home to [[Grand Teton]], the second highest peak in Wyoming, and to [[Grand Teton National Park]], which preserves the most scenic section of the Teton range. 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 [[Atlantic Ocean]]. They are the [[Platte River|Platte]], [[Wind River|Wind]], [[Big Horn River|Big Horn]] and the [[Yellowstone River|Yellowstone]] rivers. The [[Snake River]] in northwest Wyoming eventually drains into the [[Columbia River]] and the [[Pacific Ocean]], as does the [[Green River, Wyoming|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 [[river]]s begin or flow through the state, including the [[Yellowstone River]], [[Powder River (Montana)|Powder River]], [[Green River]], and the [[Snake River]]. ===Public lands=== [[Image:Map Wyoming NPS sites USA.gif|right |thumb|300px|Map of Wyoming: National Parks and NPS sites]] Over 48% of the land in Wyoming is owned by the [[U.S. Government]], which ranks fifth in the US in both total acres owned by the Federal Government and by percentage of a state's land owned by the Federal government.<ref>http://www.maineenvironment.org/documents/publiclandownership.pdf Public Land Ownership by State, 1995 Main Environment.org</ref> This amounts to about {{convert|30099430|acre|km2}} owned and managed by the U.S. Government.

In addition, Wyoming contains a number of specific areas that are under the management of the [[National Park Service]] and other agencies. They include: [[Image:Yellowstone Castle Geysir Edit.jpg|thumb|left|225px|An eruption of Castle Geyser in [[Yellowstone National Park]].]] <br> ====Parks==== *[[Yellowstone National Park]] *[[Grand Teton National Park]] ====Recreation areas==== *[[Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area]] *[[Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area]] ====National monuments==== *[[Devils Tower National Monument]] *[[Fossil Butte National Monument]] ====National historic trails and sites==== *[[California National Historic Trail]] *[[Fort Laramie National Historic Site]] *[[Mormon Pioneer National Historic Trail]] *[[Oregon National Historic Trail]] *[[Pony Express National Historic Trail]] ====National parkways==== *[[John D.

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 (2,743 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 50-60 °F (10-14 °C) range at night. In most of the state, the late spring and early summer is when most of the precipitation tends to fall. Winters are cold, but are variable with periods of sometimes extreme cold interspersed between generally mild periods, with [[Chinook winds]] providing unusually warm temperatures in some locations. Wyoming is an arid 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 5-8 inches (125 - 200 mm) (making the area nearly a true [[desert]]). The lower areas in the North and on the eastern plains typically average around 10-12 inches (250-300 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 climate of any area in Wyoming is largely determined by its latitude, altitude and local topography. When put together, these factors have a lot to do with airflow patterns, temperature variations, precipitation and humidity brought in by the weather systems that migrate eastward. In winter, Wyoming is often beneath the jet stream, or north of it, which accounts for its frequent strong winds, blasts of Arctic air and precipitation, all the necessary ingredients for great snow conditions at Wyoming's northwestern ski areas. In summer, the jet stream retreats northward to somewhere over Canada, leaving the state's weather mild and pleasant at a time when the majority of Wyoming's visitors choose to arrive. Jackson, located at 6,230 feet (1,899 m) above sea level and surrounded by mountains, can expect a high temperature in July of 80˚ F (26.6 °C). The average is more likely to be 65˚ F (18.3 °C). The closest National Weather Station (in Riverton on the other side of the Wind River Mountains at 4,955 feet (1,510 m)) reports slightly warmer July weather. Weather and topography in Wyoming both have more contrast than in most other states. Severe weather is not uncommon in Wyoming, with the state being one of the leading states for [[hail]] damage in the United States. 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 which occur a little further east. {| class="wikitable" "text-align:center" |+ Monthly normal high and low temperatures for various Wyoming cities [http://www.ustravelweather.com/weather-wyoming/] |- !

The [[Crow tribe|Crow]], [[Arapaho]], [[Lakota people|Lakota]], and [[Shoshone]] were but a few of the original inhabitants encountered when [[Whites|white]] explorers first entered the region. Although French trappers may have ventured into the northern sections of the state in the late 1700s, [[John Colter]], a member of the [[Lewis and Clark Expedition]], first described the region in 1807. His reports of the [[Yellowstone]] area were considered at the time to be fictional. [[Robert Stuart (explorer)|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 1868 — as did [[Interstate 80 (Wyoming)|Interstate 80]], ninety years later. 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 may have acquired the name Wyoming as early as 1865, when Representative J. M. Ashley of [[Ohio]] introduced a bill to Congress to provide a "temporary government for [[Wyoming Territory|the territory of Wyoming]]." The name Wyoming derives from the [[Munsee language|Munsee]] name ''xwé:wamənk'', meaning "at the big river flat," originally applied to the [[Wyoming Valley]] in Pennsylvania, made famous by the 1809 poem ''Gertrude of Wyoming'' by [[Thomas Campbell]].<ref>Bright, William (2004).

Once government sponsored expeditions to the Yellowstone country were undertaken, the previous reports by men like Colter and Bridger 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 lies within the far northwestern borders of Wyoming. In 1869, Wyoming territory gave women the right to vote. And in addition to being the first U.S. state to extend [[suffrage]] to women, Wyoming was also the home of many other firsts for U.S. women in politics. For the first time, women served on a jury in Wyoming (Laramie in 1870). Wyoming had the first female court bailiff (Mary Atkinson, Laramie, in 1870) and the first female justice of the peace in the country (Esther Hobart Morris, South Pass City, in 1870). Wyoming became the first state in the Union to elect a female governor, [[Nellie Tayloe Ross]], who was elected in 1924 and took office in January 1925. Because of rights given to women, Wyoming earned the nickname of "The Equality State."<ref name=WyoFacts>[http://wyoming.gov/general/history.asp "General Facts about Wyoming"], wyoming.gov, Retrieved on [[July 2]], [[2008]].</ref> Wyoming's constitution included women's suffrage and a pioneering article on water rights.<ref>{{cite book |title=Frontier Spirit: The Story of Wyoming |last=Sodaro |first=Craig |authorlink= |coauthors=Adams, Randy |year=1996 |publisher=Johnson Books |isbn=1-55566-163-7 |pages=p. 136-139 }}</ref> The United States admitted Wyoming into the Union as the 44th state on [[July 10]], [[1890]].."<ref name=WyoFacts/> Wyoming was the location of the [[Johnson County War]] of 1892, which erupted between competing groups of [[cattle]] ranchers.

Wyoming’s [[unemployment rate]] for 2006 was approximately 3.3%, which is lower than the national average of 4.6%. Components of Wyoming's economy differ significantly from those of other states. The mineral extraction industry and the travel and tourism sector are the main drivers behind Wyoming’s 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. The tourism industry accounts for over $2 billion in revenue for the state. In 2002, over six million people visited Wyoming’s [[national park]]s and monuments. The key tourist attractions in Wyoming include [[Grand Teton National Park]], [[Yellowstone National Park]], [[Devils Tower National Monument]] and [[Fossil Butte National Monument]]. Each year Yellowstone National Park receives three million visitors. Historically, agriculture has been an important component of Wyoming’s economic identity. Its overall importance to the performance of Wyoming’s economy has waned. However, it is still an essential part of Wyoming’s culture and lifestyle. The main agricultural commodities produced in Wyoming include livestock (beef), [[hay]], [[sugar beets]], [[grain]] (wheat and barley), and [[wool]]. Over 91% of land in Wyoming is classified as [[rural]]. ===Mineral production=== [[Image:Coal mine Wyoming.jpg|thumb|250px|A Wyoming [[coal mine]].]] Wyoming’s mineral commodities include [[coal]], [[natural gas]], [[coalbed methane]], [[crude oil]], [[uranium]], and [[trona]]. Wyoming ranks highest in mining employment in the U.S. In fiscal year 2002, Wyoming collected over $48 million in [[sales tax]]es from the mining industry. *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.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/state/state_energy_profiles.cfm?sid=WY |title= EIA State Energy Profiles: Wyoming |date=2008-06-12 |accessdate=2008-06-24}}</ref> 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: In 2004, natural gas production was 1,929 billion cubic feet (54.6 km³). Wyoming ranks 5th nationwide for natural gas production. The major markets for natural gas include industrial, commercial, and domestic heating. [[Image:Rig wind river.jpg|left|2500px|thumb|A [[Drilling rig]] drills for [[natural gas]] just west of the [[Wind River Range]] in the Wyoming [[Rocky Mountains|Rockies]]]] * Coal Bed Methane (CBM): The boom for CBM began in the mid-1990s. CBM is characterized as methane gas that is extracted from Wyoming’s 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 km³). *Crude oil: Production of Wyoming crude oil in 2004 was 51.7 million barrels (8.22 million cubic meters). The state is ranked 7th among producers of oil in the U.S. 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. Trona is used for manufacturing glass, paper, soaps, baking soda, water softeners, and pharmaceuticals. In 2002 Wyoming produced 17.3 million short tons (15.7 million metric tons) of trona. *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=== 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 and received from another state. Wyoming has a state [[sales tax]] of 4%. Counties have the option of collecting an additional 1% tax for general revenue and a 2% tax for specific purposes, if approved by voters. Food for human consumption is not subject to sales tax.<ref>[http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/03/03/news/wyoming/32-food-tax.prt ''Votes back repeal of food tax''], Billings Gazette, [[March 3]], [[2006]]</ref> 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, trains, 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. Minerals are exempt from property tax but companies must pay a gross products tax and a severance tax when produced. Underground mining equipment is tax exempt. Wyoming does not collect [[inheritance tax]]es. 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.<ref>[http://www.taxfoundation.org/research/topic/68.html The Tax Foundation - Tax Research Areas > Wyoming<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> ==Transportation== {{ussm|wyoming.PNG|wy|right}} Three interstate highways and nine U.S. highways pass through Wyoming.

Wyoming's sparse population warrants it only a solitary Congressman, and hence 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 2000 census population of 902,195 to Wyoming's 493,782, they both have the same number of electoral votes. Wyoming is an [[alcoholic beverage control state]]. ===Judicial system=== Wyoming's highest court is the Supreme Court of Wyoming, with five justices presiding over appeals from the state's lower courts. Wyoming is unusual in that it does not have an intermediate appellate court, like most states. This is largely 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 civil claims with lower dollar amounts, misdemeanor criminal offenses, and [[felony]] arraignments. 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 is predominantly conservative and politically [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]]. Its congressional delegation in Washington comprises its two Senators, [[Mike Enzi]] and [[John Barrasso]], and its one member of the House of Representatives, Congresswoman [[Barbara Cubin]]. All three are Republicans. The state has not voted for a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] for president since 1964, and there are only two reliably Democratic counties. In the 2004 presidential election, [[George W. Bush]] won his second-largest victory, with 69% of the vote. Current [[Vice President of the United States|Vice President]] [[Dick Cheney]] is a Wyoming resident and represented the state in Congress from 1979 to 1989. However, after his term, he resided primarily in Texas, a fact that drew mild criticism from his political opponents when he changed his voter registration back to Wyoming prior to joining [[George W. Bush]]'s ticket in the [[2000 Presidential election]]. Despite Wyoming's clear preference for Republicans in national offices, Democrats have held the [[governor of Wyoming|governorship]] for all but eight years since 1975. Democrat [[Dave Freudenthal]] was elected in 2002 and has one of the highest approval ratings of any governor in the USA. Wyoming in 2006 reelected incumbent Republican Congresswoman [[Barbara Cubin]] by just over 1,200 votes. ==Counties== <!-- This section is linked from [[Laramie County, Wyoming]] --> The State of Wyoming has 23 [[county (United States)|counties]]. {| class="wikitable" |- ! colspan=6 | Wyoming Counties Ranked By 2005 Population<small><ref name=PopEstCountiesWY>{{cite web | url = http://www.census.gov/popest/counties/tables/CO-EST2005-01-56.csv | title = Table 1: Annual Estimates of the Population for Counties of Wyoming: April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2005|format = [[comma-separated values|CSV]] | work = 2005 Population Estimates | publisher = U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division | date = [[2006-03-16]] | accessdate = 2007-01-09 }}</ref></small> |- !

Educational policies are set by the State Board of Education, a nine-member board appointed by the governor. The constitution prohibits the state from establishing curriculum and text book selections; these are the prerogatives of local school boards. The [[Wyoming School for the Deaf]] was the only in-state school dedicated to supporting [[deaf]] students in Wyoming, but it closed in summer of 2000. ===Higher education=== {{main|List of colleges and universities in Wyoming}} Wyoming has one public four-year institution, the [[University of Wyoming]] in [[Laramie, Wyoming|Laramie]]. In addition, there are seven two-year [[community college]]s spread through the state. Prior to the passing of a new law in 2006, Wyoming had hosted unaccredited institutions, many of them suspected [[diploma mill]]s.<ref>[http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/education/2002174735_diploma09.html Alleged "diploma mills" flocking to Wyoming] By Mead Gruver, ''Seattle Times'', [[February 9]], [[2005]]</ref> Among the state's [[distance education]] [[educational accreditation|unaccredited]] institutions that remain in Wyoming today is [[Warren National University]] at Cheyenne. The 2006 law is forcing unaccredited institutions to make one of three choices, move out of Wyoming, close down, or like Warren National University apply for accreditation. The [[Oregon State Office of Degree Authorization]] predicts that perhaps in a couple years the problem of diploma mills residing in Wyoming will be resolved.<ref>[http://www.osac.state.or.us/oda/unaccredited.aspx Unaccredited Colleges], Potential problems with degree suppliers located in these states - Wyoming, ''[[Oregon State Office of Degree Authorization]]''</ref> ==Sports== *[[Casper Ghosts]], [[minor league baseball]] *[[Wyoming Cavalry]], [[American Indoor Football Association]] *[[University of Wyoming]], Football, Basketball, Soccer, Golf == Miscellaneous information == *[[USS Wyoming|USS ''Wyoming'']] was named in honor of this state.
