Prehistoric Cheyenne. Those First to Live Here.

The Native American Indians. The Early Residents.
Wyoming has been the home of many different tribes of Native Americans. Before 1700, roving bands of Shoshone and Utes from the Great Basin area began moving into the western parts of Wyoming, attracted by large herds of game and open space of the high plains. In the north, Crows roamed the mountains and plains. By the eigthteenth century, increasing pressure from eastern tribes and white settlements in the Mid-west forced many tribes to migrate west in search of more space and game. The Sioux and Cheyenne were forced from Minnesota and moved into the Dakotas and eastern Wyoming.

Cheyenne 1890 to 1920. From Frontier Town to Modern City.
The severe winter of 1886-1887 wreaked havoc in the cattle industry and the financial panic of 1893 combined to severly curtail economic development of both th railroad and the City. The City would remain relatively economically depressed until Wold War I. These major events caused the City to change from Frontier Town to Modern City even though it would keep its Cowboy traditions to this day through the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo celebration. The first Frontier Days Rodeo celebration held at the Cheyenne Fairgrounds was in 1897.
