Today is the anniversary of Wyoming being admitted to our United States of America.
Date of Admittance:
July 10, 1890
Parentage:
The word "wyoming" is based a Native American word
meche-weami-ing meaning "on the great plain."
The territory was stolen acquired from the Native Americans.

State Flag
A red and white banner around a blue field
with the state seal in the center
of a white silhouette of a buffalo.
I think this is one of my favorite state flags.
It's simple and elegant...and features
a buffalo. Come on, what more
do you want?

First City You Probably Think of
When You Think "Wyoming"
Are there cities in Wyoming?
Actual State Capital:Cheyenne
State Size (Area) is 10th of 50.
Population is closer to 50th of 50.
(per 2000 Census figures)
In other words, fewer people live in Wyoming
than do in Rhode Island. Think about that for a minute!

The Cheyenne Frontier Day
is the biggest rodeo in the US

A Song For You....
"I Can Still Make Cheyenne"
George Strait
(Aaron Barker-Erv Woolsey)
A rodeo-man is willing to give up his travelling life
until he realizes his lover is leaving him.
Then he decides to go to the Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo after all.
