Wyoming is a state in the Western United States. The majority of the state is dominated by the mountain ranges and rangelands of the
Rocky Mountain West, while the easternmost section of the state includes part of a high elevation prairie region known as the High Plains.
While the tenth largest U.S. state by area, Wyoming is the least populous.
Several Native American groups originally inhabited the region now known as Wyoming. The Crow, Arapaho, Lakota, and Shoshone were but a few
of the original inhabitants encountered when 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 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, 90 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.
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.
