Lincoln County Forms New County Government in 1912
The Wyoming legislature created Lincoln County from northern Uinta County with the county seat at Kemmerer, to take effect January 1, 1912. Provisional commissioners were named, and the November 3 election chose officials including sheriff Hi Bameos, clerk H B Harrisom, treasurer Ben Ball, and others. The new administration faces a magnitude task organizing offices, land records, and county services across the Green River Valley and Cokeville districts.
