About Wyoming
Wyoming is the least populous state in the United States, yet it carries an outsized national significance as the home of the world's first national park, the birthplace of women's suffrage in America, and the top coal-producing state in the nation. Its vast landscapes encompass everything from the geothermal wonders of Yellowstone to the granite spires of the Tetons to the high-plains energy fields of the Powder River Basin. With no state income or corporate tax and mineral revenues funding much of the state budget, Wyoming represents a unique western political and economic model built on resource extraction, agricultural tradition, and world-class public lands.
