Wyoming became the 44th state of the United States on July 10, 1890. Located in the Mountain West, it is known for its wide open spaces, natural beauty, and national parks like Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Wyoming was the first U.S. territory to grant women the right to vote in 1869, earning it the nickname "The Equality State." Its economy has historically been based on mining, agriculture, and tourism. The state capital and largest city is Cheyenne. Wyoming is celebrated for its strong frontier spirit and contributions to women’s rights in America.
