Wyoming Fast Facts:

Vast, unspoiled Wyoming enjoys the lowest population density in the continental United States. Cheyenne, located in the southeastern corner, is the state capital and largest city. Other major cities include Casper, Laramie and Gillette. The eastern part of the state is a plateau marking the edge of the Great Plains. In the west, the plateau slopes upward into a number of mountain ranges, including the Rockies.

Wyoming's economy is driven by its mineral extraction and tourism industries. It is the top producer of coal in the country, and is estimated to have deposits of almost 70 billion tons of this valuable mineral. Other plentiful natural resources include natural gas, crude oil and trona (a mineral used in manufacturing glass and paper). Thanks to the state's stunning natural beauty, tourism accounts for more than $1 billion of state revenue per year. Even though more than 90% of the land in Wyoming is still classified as rural, the farming industry no longer plays a significant role in the state's economy.
