 From viewing wild horses in their natural habitat, to playing in one of nature's largest sandboxes, to getting an ice cream at Little America, Sweetwater County has something for everyone. Sweetwater County was founded on December 17, 1867 as a county within the Dakota Territory and originally named Carter County after Judge W.A. Carter of Fort Bridger. South Pass City was the county seat from 1867 to 1873 when the seat was moved to Green River. The county is the largest in Wyoming with an area of approximately 10,500 square miles. The county is home to six incorporated towns. There are also many other census designated places, unincorporated communities and ghost towns. The Great Divide Basin lies within the county and any precipitation received in the basin does not drain towards any ocean. Area attractions include the Red Desert, Kilpecker Sand Dunes, Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Seeds Kitty Wildlife Refuge and the Pilot View Wild Horses. At the junction of Interstate 80 and Highway 191, Sweetwater County is the perfect destination for some high desert adventure.
