Platte County, located in the southeastern region of the great state of Wyoming, USA, was established in 1911. It was named after the North Platte River, which flows through the county. The county seat is Wheatland, a small town which was founded in 1894, before the county's official establishment. Wheatland serves as the main economic and cultural hub of the region.

The history of Platte County is closely linked to the development of the American West. Prior to European settlement, the area was inhabited by various Native American tribes, such as the Lakota, Sioux, and the Arapaho. The presence of the North Platte River, a major tributary of the Missouri River, made Platte County a crucial region for transportation and trade.

During the mid-19th century, following the westward expansion of the United States, the region saw a surge in settlers, trappers, and traders who utilized the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails. These pioneers were drawn by the prospect of fertile lands for agriculture, as well as the promise of gold in nearby states.

In the late 1800s, the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad and the establishment of the historic Wyoming Central Railroad played a critical role in the development of Platte County, further cementing its significance for transportation and connecting its agricultural products to the broader market.

Today, Platte County remains predominantly rural, with an economy based mostly on agriculture, livestock, and tourism. The combination of picturesque landscapes, recreational opportunities, and well-preserved historical sites continues to attract visitors.

Fun fact: The historic Laramie Peak, the highest peak in the Laramie Range of eastern Wyoming, is partially situated in Platte County. The peak holds great significance for Native American tribes and early pioneers, as it served as a prominent landmark and navigation guide throughout history.
