Rawlins: Wyoming's Quiet City
Rawlins is the county seat of Carbon County in the U.S. state of Wyoming, located in the south-central part of the state about 180 miles from the state capital, Cheyenne. Located along the North American Continental Divide, the city has an average elevation of about 2,100 meters above sea level and has a semi-arid climate with cold, snowy winters and mild, dry summers.
History and Transportation Hub
Founded in the 1880s, Rawlins sprang up as a result of the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad, which took its name from early railroad engineer John Rawlins. Today, it remains an important transportation node, straddling Interstate 80 and U.S. Highway 30, connecting major cities such as Denver and Salt Lake City.
Economy and Natural Landscape
The economy is dominated by the energy industry, and the surrounding area is rich in oil, natural gas and coal resources. The nearby Wyoming Frontier Prison opens as a history museum, attracting visitors to explore Old West history. Outdoor enthusiasts can experience the natural beauty of the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains by fishing or hiking at Seminole State Park.
Community and Culture
As a small city with a population of about 8,000, Rawlins retains a quintessential small-town American West atmosphere, with community events including an annual rodeo and the Wyoming State Fair. Education is handled by the Carbon County School District, which provides public services from elementary through high school.
