The Founding of Greybull
A Frontier Town With Enduring Spirit
Nestled in the heart of the Big Horn Basin, the town of Greybull, Wyoming, has long served as a crossroads—where wild beauty, hardy ambition, and rich resources collided to build a lasting community. Though Greybull as we know it today began to take shape in the early 20th century, its roots stretch back to a time of pioneers, prospectors, and wide-open possibilities.
A River Runs Through It
Greybull owes both its name and its origin to the Grey Bull River, a branch of the Big Horn River that cuts through the basin’s rugged terrain. The river itself draws its name from a local Native American legend about a rare albino buffalo (or “white bull”) seen drinking at the river’s edge. The “grey bull” came to symbolize strength, mystery, and sacredness—qualities still felt in the region’s untamed landscape.
Railroads and Opportunities
Greybull’s real boom came with the arrival of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad in 1906. The town quickly grew from a sleepy outpost into a bustling railroad hub and commercial center. A depot was constructed, and with it came jobs, travelers, and supplies. Within just a few years, Greybull had banks, saloons, schools, and a thriving Main Street.
Legacy and Today
Today, Greybull’s historic charm is part of what makes it a hidden gem in northern Wyoming. Travelers can stay in the Historic Hotel Greybull (once a prohibition-era speakeasy), visit the Museum of Flight & Aerial Firefighting, or simply stroll the downtown district where echoes of the past still linger.
The legacy of Greybull’s founding is felt in every wide-open view and every welcoming smile from locals who know the value of perseverance. History is not just preserved, it’s lived, celebrated, and shared.
