Cheyenne, WY Real Estate

Cheyenne is the capital and the most populous city of the U.S. state of Wyoming, and the county seat of Laramie County. It is the principal city of the 'Cheyenne, Wyoming Metropolitan Statistical Area ' which encompasses all of Laramie County, Wyoming. As of September 2005, it had an estimated population of 55,362.

On July 4, 1867, General Grenville M. Dodge, the Union Pacific Railroad 's superintendent of construction, along with railroad representatives, surveyors, land agents, military officers, and some of Dodge ™s personal friends arrived at an area known as Crow Creek Crossing. About 250 soldiers accompanied them to the Crossing in southeastern Dakota Territory to a rendezvous with General Christopher Columbus Augur, his 350 troops, and Pawnee Scouts. Dodge had planned the founding of his new city specifically on the nation's birthday.

During his two weeks at Crow Creek Crossing, Dodge with his survey crew platted the site two miles by two miles, now known as Cheyenne (Dakota Territory, later Wyoming Territory). He knew, from having been in the area before as a commander of troops looking for unruly Indians, he wanted Crow Creek Crossing as the Division Point for the U. P. railroad. It was the exact location, where to the east, land went down hill gradually five hundred miles to the railroad's head at Council Bluffs, Iowa and in the opposite direction began the railroad's most serious climb. Sherman Hill, named after one of Dodge's Civil War commanding officers, would rise more than two thousand, two hundred feet in just thirty miles to the west of Cheyenne.
