Wyoming was the first state to grant women the right to vote, earning it the nickname “The Equality State.” It also played a key role in the westward expansion, with landmarks like the Oregon Trail and Yellowstone, the first national park. With its beautiful mountains, cultural history and national parks, Wyoming is a great place to live and visit.
