The landscape around Cody is a semi-arid basin beside the Shoshone River and below the Absaroka Range, which has shaped both the town’s form and its ranching and tourism economy. Cody was founded in 1896 by William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, whose name remains central to its identity. The Buffalo Bill Center of the West brings together five museums on the American West, with collections covering Plains Indian cultures, natural history, firearms and western art. The annual Cody Stampede, held around Independence Day, continues the town’s long rodeo tradition.
