Fact text

  • Cheyenne grew so explosively after its 1867 founding that it earned the nickname 'Magic City of the Plains'.
  • Cheyenne Frontier Days is a legendary annual rodeo event that has made the city a go-to destination for Old West culture.
  • Despite being a state capital, Cheyenne sits so close to Wyoming's border that it ranks among the least centrally located capitals in the entire country.
  • Warm chinook winds rolling down from the Rockies can push Cheyenne's temperatures above 50°F on roughly twenty winter days, a sneaky perk of living on the plains.
