About Cheyenne, Wyoming:
| Throughout
history, Cheyenne has been recognized and used
as a crossroads to destinations near and far and
also a crossroads of cultures. In 1867, General
Greenville Dodge used the area as a tent city
when he pushed the nation's first Transcontinental
Railroad westward. Soon after, wooden buildings
were erected for a winter camp for the tracklayers
of the Union Pacific. Upon its completion, the
railroad linked Cheyenne with both coasts and
brought about a foundation for continued growth.
The new city was named for one of the tribes whose
descendants still live in Wyoming. As Cheyenne
continues to grow, it still stands as a crossroads
between the Old West and the New West, a community
in which the romance of old western traditions
continues to survive alongside the growing modern
businesses. |
