AREA HISTORY

The settlement of Northwest Wyoming is a layered history of ancestral Native American stewardship, the rugged era of the mountain men, and the eventual rise of permanent ranching communities. For centuries, the region served as a vital hunting ground for indigenous tribes before becoming a global center for the fur trade in the early 1800s. Following the explorers, the Homestead Act of 1862 paved the way for ranchers and farmers to establish permanent roots along the fertile banks of the Shoshone and Bighorn rivers.

The farming community between Powell and Lovell was established in the early 20th century through massive irrigation projects that transformed the arid Bighorn Basin into a fertile valley. This development was driven by two primary forces: the federal Shoshone Project, which founded Powell, and the Mormon colonization efforts that established Byron and Lovell. Today, this corridor remains one of Wyoming’s most productive agricultural regions, specializing in sugar beets, malt barley, and beans.

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS & ACTIVITIES
