Cheyenne Is A Railroad Town
Did you know that Cheyenne all but owes its existence to the Union Pacific Railroad? In the mid-1800s, the railroad announced plans to build a township next to the railroad’s crossing of Crow Creek that would serve as the headquarters for its mountain region. Once settled, the locals all got together and named it Cheyenne as a salute to the American Indian tribe who lived in the area. To this day, it still serves as a significant way stop for the trains that cross the country, carrying freight and goods all across America.
Cheyenne Offers Great Opportunities For Education
Did you know that Cheyenne is home to Laramie County Community College (or LCCC for short)? With its affordable tuition rates and excellent faculty, it gives students from all over the region an opportunity to get an education while saving money for the future. Our local high school and middle school students also benefit from the opportunities it provides – from dual credit courses to arts and science programs that can expand their horizons.
