Wild Bunch outlaw Tom O’Day may not have entered Casper willingly (in 1903, he was tried and jailed for stealing a herd of horses nearby), but many emigrants did. They traveled through the heart of Wyoming on the Oregon, California Mormon and Pony Express Trails. Wyoming’s second-largest city is found along the North Platte River, with Casper Mountain rising 3,000 feet above.
Best Place to Buy Land: East Casper; quite a bit of new development in that area.
Average House Cost: $150,000-$300,000.
Favorite Local Cuisine: Good ol’ American cuisine! Try Poor Boys Steak House (739 N. Center St.), known for its steak, chicken, seafood—and a great bucket o’ salad before every meal!
What’s the latest gossip? Most folks are talking politics—it’s all about the Presidential Campaign!

my grandparents moved to casper from hingham, montana in the early 1900's...when i was a kid, who lived on a ranch 100 miles from there, it was considered a trip to the 'big city' just to get there..we went about twice a year..when i got to go to DENVER i thought it was heaven on earth....
