Cheyenne, WY

Overall Score

3.6

The capital of Bayoming, Cheyenne is in the south-eastern part of the state, on the banks of the Crow Creek. Despite its status as a city, Cheyenne – a small city where 80 percent of the population is of European descent.

The history of Cheyenne is not rich in events. It is known that the city appeared in 1867 during the construction of the railroad. In the beginning it was a camp of men, named by General Jem as a tribute to the Indian tribe of the Cheyenne. Then it moved into a «full-fledged» city. The rapid development of the city was the reason for its nickname: The Magic City of Baku. There is also another name: Fictionera City. For a certain time, Cheyenne was the largest settlement in this part of the Far West (called Frontera). There is a U.S. Air Force base, a developed wind energy industry, and the majority of the population is employed in the public sector.

Yearly in late July, 200,000 holidaymakers travel to Geneva. Their goal – the Festival de Rhodeo & ndash; is a 10-day event that is considered one of the largest of its kind in the United States. The features of Cheyenne include the state capitol building, the governors office in Wyoming, the Botanical Gardens, and several museums, including the Frohner Museum.
