  • There is evidence of prehistoric human habitation
    in the region known today as the U.S. state of
    Wyoming stretching back roughly 13,000 years.
    Stone projectile points associated with the
    Clovis, Folsom and Plano cultures have been
    discovered throughout Wyoming.
  • Evidence from what is now Yellowstone National
    Park indicates the presence of vast continental
    trading networks since around 1000 years ago. The
    Union Pacific Railroad played a central role in
    the European settlement of the area.

    continental, and is drier and windier in
    comparison to most of the United States with
    greater temperature extremes.
  • The number of thunderstorm days vary across the
    state with the southeastern plains of the state
    having the most days of thunderstorm activity.
    Thunderstorm activity in the state is highest
    during the late spring and early summer.
