2. Earlier this year, a Frontier Airlines pilot became a small hero when his Washington, D.C., to Denver plane flight had to stop in Cheyenne due to storms. After two hours on the tarmac the pilot announced \u201cI just ordered pizza for the entire plane.\u201d Thirty-five pies arrived shortly after.
\n3. During the 1880s Cheyenne was the wealthiest city in the country, maybe the world, due to a booming cattle industry and the gold rush.
\n4. Wyoming is the only state in the union that\u2019s home to just one four-year postgraduate university: the University of Wyoming. The next closest states are Alaska and Delaware with five.

5. The Wyoming Frontier Prison in Rawlins, which opened after thirteen years of construction 1901, was the state\u2019s first. These days it\u2019s much less intimidating: it\u2019s a tourist attraction that hosts an annual Haunted Halloween House and 5k \u201cPen Fun Run.\u201d
\n6. Wyoming stood in for the cold and desolate Soviet Union in Rocky IV (aka, the one where Rocky single handedly wins the Cold War). The farm where Rocky trained was located in Jackson Hole, and outdoor shots and sequences were taken at Grand Teton National Park.

7. Drinking and mining in Wyoming isn\u2019t just dangerous: it\u2019s illegal. If you\u2019re caught drunk in a mine it could lead to a hefty fine or land you in jail for up to a year.
\n8. Charles Schwab, Tiger Woods, and Dick Cheney are among the famous folks who own prime property in Jackson, Wyoming. Jackson ranch owner Harrison Ford, however, is by far Wyoming\u2019s most valuable celebrity asset. He\u2019s used his helicopter in several search and rescue missions, in one case picking up a stranded climber in the Teton Range and returning her to safety.

9. If you\u2019re ever using AP Style, never abbreviate the state as WY like you would when writing an address. Just as the proper AP abbreviation for California is Calif., not CA, the proper AP abbreviation for Wyoming is Wyo.
\n10. Big Horn, Cheyenne, Lincoln, Sweetwater, and Yellowstone were some of the suggested names for the Wyoming territory when the U.S. Senate named the territory in 1868.
\n11. With 550,000 total residents, the population of Wyoming is roughly the same as the population of Albuquerque<\/a>, New Mexico and the small European nation of Luxembourg.
\n12. White Hall, on the University of Wyoming\u2019s campus in Laramie, is the tallest building in the state. The 12-story dormitory is 200 feet high.

13. If you\u2019re in Newcastle, Wyoming, and suddenly feel the urge to a have sex in a store’s walk-in meat freezer, for goodness sake, don\u2019t do it: there\u2019s a strict ordinance against the act. Ice cold.
\n14. While the popular folk rock group the Avett Brothers have their roots firmly planted in North Carolina, singer and multi-instrumentalist Scott Avett was born in Cheyenne, where he spent the first few years of his life.

15. For the 2008 presidential election Wyoming was the reddest state in the union, with a 32% margin for McCain. In 2012, the honor went to Utah, where Romney beat Obama by a 48% margin as compared to Wyoming\u2019s 40%.

16. The above information might make you wonder how people from Wyoming feel about that fact that more than 48% of the land in Wyoming is owned by the U.S. Government, with the state government responsible for another 6%.
\n17. Throughout the 19th century, there was so much wagon traffic throughout Wyoming that wagon wheel ruts still exist all over the state today.

18. Wyoming was the last state to raise the legal drinking age back to 21 in 1988. Between 1973 and 1988, the legal drinking age was 19.
\n19. In 1991 Wyoming state government established a policy that \u201cone percent of new state construction costs is allocated for acquisition of artwork, not to exceed $100,000.\u201d The artist is selected by a committee, with preference going to artists with Wyoming ties.

20. Dating back to 1886, the Laramie County Library System is the oldest county library system in the country.
\n21. Cody, Wyoming is named after Wild West showman William Frederick “Buffalo Bill” Cody. In fact, Cody helped found the city, imaging it would turn into a booming tourist destination.
\n22. In 1999, \u201cSports Illustrated\u201d made a list of the \u201cGreatest Sports Figures From Every State.\u201d Wyoming\u2019s representative was Green Bay Packers great and Cheyenne native Boyd Dowler, who played wide receiver on Vince Lombardi\u2019s first two Super Bowl teams. Dowler is currently a scout with the Atlanta Falcons.
\n23. Wyoming is one of three states with a name that begins with two consonants. The other two states are Florida and Rhode Island.
\n24. In 1906, President Teddy Roosevelt made Devil\u2019s Tower in Crook County the country\u2019s first ever National Monument.

25. The Casper Star-Tribune is Wyoming biggest newspaper, with a Sunday circulation of 22,751. For comparison, the very average-sized state of South Carolina\u2019s largest newspaper, the Post and Courier, has a Sunday circulation of 90,168.
\n26. in 1939, portions of northern Wyoming attempted to join portions of South Dakota and Montana in an attempt to form a new state called \u201cAbsaroka.\u201d Sheridan, Wyoming was the planned capital, a state license plate was created, and a “Miss Absaroka\u201d was even named.

27. People from Wyoming must have a thing for secession. In 2012, a petition circulated around the state calling for Wyoming\u2019s peaceful secession from the United States was signed by nearly 10,000 residents.
\n28. Utah isn\u2019t the only state in the union with a large Mormon population. In 2010, the LDS church (62,804 adherents) edged out the Catholic Church (61,222 adherents) as the largest church in the state.
\n29. Wyoming has earned its reputation as the \u201cequality state.\u201d The state (then territory) was the first to allow women to vote in 1869. The 69-year-old Louisa Ann Swain became the first woman in the United States to vote in a general election in 1870, after the homemaker rose early to buy yeast and stopped to vote on the way.

30. Wyoming has also by far and away sent the highest percentage of women to the house of representatives since 1989. Wyoming\u2019s rate is 76.9%. The next closest state is South Dakota at 46.2%.
\n31. As if that wasn\u2019t enough lady cred, Wyoming also had the United States\u2019 first female governor, Nellie Tayloe Ross, from 1925 to 1927. The outspoken Prohibition activist and former kindergarten teacher won an election after the sitting governor, her husband William Bradford Ross, died in office.

32. The state of Wyoming provides huge incentives for promising high school students to stay in-state for college. Through the Hathaway Scholarship program, Wyoming students get big money to attend either UW or one of the state\u2019s community colleges. Completely free tuition isn\u2019t unusual.
\n33. In Wyoming, it\u2019s illegal to wear a hat that obstructs people’s view in a public theater or place of amusement. It\u2019s also just poor manners.

34. It\u2019s also illegal (and not very sporting) to use firearms to fish.
\n35. These days, the massive department store chain is headquartered in Plano, Texas, but the first J.C. Penney store opened in Kemmerer, Wyoming, by James Cash Penney in 1902.
\n36. Even though Kemmerer\u2019s population is just a tick above 2,500, Penney might not even be its most famous former resident. Longtime Lakers owner Jerry Buss, who passed away last year, grew up in Kemmerer before attending the University of Wyoming.

37. The unincorporated community of Wolf is home to Eaton Ranch, the world\u2019s first dude ranch. The Eatons moved the ranch to its current location in Wolf in 1904, where the family still operates it today.
\n38. Following the lynching of the outlaw Big Nose George Parrott in 1881, a twisted doctor named John Eugene Osborne had the criminal\u2019s skin tanned and turned into shoes. That doctor would later become the Governor of Wyoming in 1893 and eventually serve as Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson.
\n39. In 1887, Harry Alonzo Longabaugh was caught stealing a gun, horse, and saddle from a Sundance, Wyoming ranch. While in jail for the crime, he took on the name the \u201cSundance Kid.\u201d

40. Shoshone Forest become the country\u2019s first National Forest in 1891, following a law signed by President Benjamin Harrison.
\n41. The archean granite Independence Rock in central Wyoming was a landmark for travelers to Utah, Oregon, and California during the 19th century. Weary travellers did their best to arrive at the rock by the 4th of July to make sure they were on pace to get through the Rockies before winter. They also probably didn\u2019t want to miss the huge yearly party held there on the 4th each year.

42. Coal is the name of the economy in Wyoming. In 2010, the state produced a whopping 40% of the nation\u2019s total coal supply.
\n43. The Black Thunder coal mine, located near Wright, is the largest in the country. The Mine is responsible for roughly 20% of Wyoming’s total coal production.
\n44. The town of Afton\u2019s main street is home to a 75 foot arch made out of 3,011 elk antlers, which is either really cool or really morbid, depending on how you feel about elk.

45. Afton is also the hometown of Greco-Roman wrestler Rulon Gardner. Gardner became the United States\u2019 first gold medalist in the sport at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
\n46. Wyoming accounted for two of the 530 Olympians at the London 2012 Summer Olympics. This made Wyoming the best represented state in the country per capita.
\n46. The word \u201cWyoming\u201d comes from a Lenape word that roughly translate to \u201cat the big river flat.\u201d However, the word actually referred to what\u2019s now known as the Wyoming Valley in northeast Pennsylvania.
\n47. The state\u2019s oldest bar is Buckhorn Bar and Parlor in Laramie. It was established all the way back in 1900, just ten years after Wyoming became a state.<\/p>\n

48. One of Wyoming\u2019s most famous native sons, Dick Cheney, would eventually graduate with a B.A. and M.A. in political science from the University of Wyoming. Originally, however, he attended Yale on the recommendation of Casper oil man Tom Stroock, who helped him receive a full scholarship. Cheney would go on to fail out of the school twice and return to his home state after two years.
