LaBarge is located in the northern end of Lincoln County just across the Lincoln-Sublette County borderline. Although it is not in the county, the citizens of Sublette County shares some very close ties with this town. LaBarge is in the same school district as Big Piney and Marbleton. It has an elementary school but the older students are bussed 20 miles to the Big Piney Middle and High Schools. Because of this the families of these towns have known each other for generations. LaBarge's economy also depends on the large amount of energy resources available in both Sublette and Lincoln Counties, as do many of the neighboring communities of Sublette County. |
