Fort Laramie Founded as Fur Trading Post in 1834
Fort Laramie near the Laramie River was established by Robert Campbell and William Sublette as Wyoming’s first permanent fur post. It was likely named Fort William before evolving to Fort Laramie, later purchased by the Army in 1849. Missionaries led by Rev. Jason Lee also journeyed west with Nathaniel Wyeth in 1834 to spread Methodism.
