Casper is a city in and the county seat of Natrona County, Wyoming, United States.[7] Casper is the second-most populous city in the state after Cheyenne, with the population at 59,038 as of the 2020 census.[4] Casper is nicknamed "The Oil City" and has a long history of oil boomtown and cowboy culture, dating back to the development of the nearby Salt Creek Oil Field.

Casper is in east central Wyoming, on the North Platte River.

History

[edit]

Casper was established east of the former site of Fort Caspar, in an area that attracted European settlers during the mid-19th century mass migration of land seekers along the Oregon, California, and Mormon trails,[8] where several nearby ferries offered passage across the North Platte River in the early 1840s. In 1859, Louis Guinard built a bridge and trading post near the original ferry locations, allowing overland travel to continue through the area.[9]

The government also posted the military garrison to protect telegraph and mail service. It was under the command of Lieutenant Colonel William O. Collins.[8] Native American attacks increased after the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre in Colorado, bringing more troops to the post, which was by now called Platte Bridge Station. In July 1865, a group of Indian warriors killed Collins's son Caspar Collins near the post, and three months later the garrison was renamed Fort Caspar in his honor.[8]

In 1867, the troops were ordered to abandon Fort Caspar in favor of Fort Fetterman, downstream on the North Platte along the Bozeman Trail. But the town itself was settled in 1887, and incorporated a year later by developers as an anticipated stopping point during the Wyoming Central Railway's expansion.

A site a few miles east was planned as the original site,[10] where homesteader Joshua Stroud lived before the construction of the station for the Chicago and North Western Railway.[11][12][13] The Pioneer Town Site Company laid out the site in 1888 and it was known as Strouds, but the name Casper soon prevailed. While the name is derived from Fort Caspar and Caspar Collins, it is named "Casper" due to a typo during the official registration.

Casper was an early commercial rival to both Bessemer and Douglas, Wyoming. The absence of a railhead doomed Bessemer in favor of Casper, while Douglas, also a railhead, survives. This rail presence also made Casper the starting point for the "invaders" in the Johnson County War, since the chartered train carrying the men from Texas stopped at Casper.

Casper received a significant influx of visitors during the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, due to its position along the path of totality.[14]

Geography

[edit]

Interstate 25, which approaches Casper from the north and east, is the main avenue of transportation to and from the city. The towns immediately adjacent to Casper are Mills, Evansville, and Bar Nunn. Unincorporated areas include Allendale, Dempsey Acres, Red Buttes, and Indian Springs.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has an area of 27.24 square miles (70.55 km2), of which 26.90 square miles (69.67 km2) is land and 0.34 square miles (0.88 km2) is water.[15]

Climate

[edit]

Like most of Wyoming, Casper has a continental semi-arid climate (Köppen climate classification: BSk), with long, cold, dry winters, hot but generally dry summers, mild springs, and short, crisp autumns. Normal daily maxima range from 35.2 °F (1.8 °C) in January to 89.0 °F (31.7 °C) in July. Snow can fall heavily during the winter and early to mid-spring months, and usually falls in May and October. Precipitation is greatest in spring and early summer, but even then is not high. Highs reach 90 °F (32.2 °C) on 37.8 days per year and fail to surpass freezing on 41.3. Lows drop to 0 °F (−17.8 °C) on an average of 14.6 nights annually. The highest temperature recorded in Casper was 104 °F (40.0 °C) on July 12, 1954; July 16, 2005; and July 29, 2006; the lowest was −42 °F (−41.1 °C) on December 22, 2022.[16]

Economy

[edit]

Casper is a regional center of banking and commerce.

Sinclair's Casper refinery in nearby Evansville

After the discovery of crude oil in the region during the 1890s, Casper became the regional petroleum industry center. Oil has figured prominently in its history from nearly the outset. It was first discovered in the Salt Creek Oil Field in 1889, about 40 miles (64 km) north of Casper; the first refinery in Casper was built in 1895. The city has featured a refinery ever since, with various refineries built and closed over the years. As recently as the early 1980s, the city was near or home to three refineries. The surviving one, operated by Sinclair Oil Corporation, is in nearby Evansville. Development of Wyoming coal and uranium fields in recent decades has helped Casper continue its role as a center in the energy industry.

Casper Wind Farm began operations near Casper in Natrona County and has 11 turbines with a generating capacity of 16.5 MW.[22] Energy Transportation Inc. is headquartered in Casper. This logistics firm transports overweight and outsized components used in the wind power industry.[23] The Casper landfill is also a disposal site for windmill blades.[24]

Education

[edit]

Casper is home to Casper College, a community college that offers bachelor's degrees in 16 areas of study from the University of Wyoming through its UW/CC Center.[25]

Public education in Casper is provided by Natrona County School District #1, the county's only school district.[26] The district operates 16 elementary schools, five middle schools, and three high schools in Casper. The high schools are Kelly Walsh, Natrona County, and Roosevelt High Schools. A program called CAPS is being added to Natrona County School District, which will provide more space and classrooms for juniors and seniors at the high schools.

Casper has a public library, a branch of the Natrona County Public Library System.[27]

Media

[edit]

Casper is served by one print newspaper, the Casper Star-Tribune, a daily, and until recently the Casper Journal, a weekly. Casper is also home to WyoFile, an online publication focusing on state issues,[28] and Oil City News, an online news and media site.[29] Casper is served by 30 radio stations on FM and AM. KTWO 1030 AM is the state's oldest radio station.[30] Casper is served by the following television stations: KTWO-TV (channel 2), affiliated with ABC; KCWY (channel 13), affiliated with NBC (and The CW on DT2); KGWC-TV (channel 14), affiliated with CBS; and KFNB (channel 20), affiliated with Fox. Casper also has a member station of PBS, KPTW, on channel 8. [31] Almost all the city's FM stations and all its TV stations broadcast from Casper Mountain south of the city.
