Casper and Natrona County Rise from Cow Town to Prosperous Hub

The Natrona County region along the North Platte grew from a cow town to a major sheep and wool market, then expanded into a refinery and oil center with Mill West and Mid West companies boosting payrolls and rail service. Casper evolved into a freight and passenger hub with three large rail lines, modern schools, hospitals, and extensive public works. The National County Fair association anchors a strong local economy as growth continues toward a larger, better city.
