Sublette County located in Western Wyoming has a total of 5,920 residents. Most of these citizens like to boast that there is not one single stop light in the whole entire county. Sublette County is bordered by three mountain ranges, the Wind Rivers, the Wyoming Range and the Gros Ventre, making it a great destination for hunting, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling and many other outdoor recreational activities. Originally cattle ranching was the main industry, now oil and gas drilling and tourism are very important factors in the livelihood of this area. Historically this area is noted for its important role in the fur trade era of the early 1800's. The confluence of the Green River and Horse Creek located in the heart of the county is where six rendezvous were held. Rendezvous was a time of trading and socializing for the mountain men, trappers and Indians of that time. In Pinedale, the Museum of the Mountain Man has been dedicated to preserving and teaching about how important these historical events were to our area and also how they influenced the rest of the world at that time. Sublette County is a place that time hasn't changed all that much and its people are still strongly connected to their pioneer roots. |
