Sheridan Wyoming
welcome to:

Sheridan, Wyoming is a town of nearly 17,000 people in the north
central part of the State, just 35 miles from the Montana border. The
town was established in 1882 and is close to the historic Bozeman
Trail where many battles occurred during the bloody expansion into
the west. Several historic sites are within minutes driving distance
from Sheridan, including Fort Phil Kerney, the Wagon Box Fight, ad
Custer’s last stand in Montana.
Today, Sheridan is a thriving community that forges into the future
while still holding onto its old western roots. Sheridan, Wyoming
was named top western town by True West magazine in 2006. Many
of the old historical buildings still exist in Sheridan, including the
Trail’s End mansion, the Sheridan Inn built by Buffalo Bill, and the
Mint Bar.
Sheridan’s economy is driven by energy, agriculture, and tourism.
The entire area around Sheridan is saturated with shallow sub-
bituminous coal seams. In recent years, energy companies have
developed ways to extract coal bed methane trapped above these
seams. This has put a lot of people to work in the Sheridan area, and
made millionaires out of those that owned the mineral rights. The
rolling hills around Sheridan have always been excellent for raising
livestock, and the cow is still king here.
The Sheridan, Wyoming area is naturally beautiful and the Big Horn
mountains nearby provide a post card perfect view. Local school
systems rate high in almost all areas, including test scores, music
education, and sports. Sheridan junior college provides secondary
education, and many of it students transfer to major universities
throughout the country. Sheridan, Wyoming is a great place to live
