Cheyenne was founded in 1867 by the Union Pacific Railroad, named after the indigenous cheyenne. The city became the capital of the Territory in 1869, and the state capital from 1890 when Wyoming became the state. Annual rodeo (Frontier Days) has been held in July since 1897. In the pioneer era, Cheyenne was called “Heel on Wheels” because of the rough gangs that came with the railroad construction.
