Wyoming State Flag
| A short history of the Wyoming State flag |
The original Wyoming State Flag had the buffalo facing away from the pole, symbolizing the buffalo walking away in the sunset. This was later changed to have the buffalo facing the pole, and therefore the wind direction, representing the buffalo's which face into the winds on the Great Plains. The seal which now appears within the shape of the buffalo was originally cut in 1893, and revised in 1921. The figure of Victory (holding a scroll proclaiming "equal Rights"), stands between two colums, around which are ribbons bearing the names of the chief products of the state.The supporters are a cowboy and a miner and between them at their feet is the shield of the USA.

| A short history of Wyoming (The Equality State / The Cowboy State) |
The eastern part was once subject to France and the Western part to Spain (later Mexico). The US acquired the French Territory in 1803, and the mexican in 1848. Settlers arrived from 1834 onward.A Territory was organized in 1868.* Originally inhabited by several Native American tribes, the first outside explorers to visit the area were French trappers and a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Eventually the Oregon Trail passed through the area. Wyoming became a territory on July 25, 1868, and a beautiful area in north-western Wyoming became the world's first national park, called Yellowstone National Park. Wyoming was admitted to the Union on July 10, 1890. (*source: wikipedia) |
