Gillette

Gillette sits in the Powder River Basin in northeastern Wyoming, where broad high plains have made the city a center of the American energy industry. Known as the Energy Capital of the Nation, it is closely associated with the basin’s coal, oil and natural-gas development, which has shaped Campbell County’s economy and identity. Founded in 1891 along the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, the town was named for surveyor Edward Gillette. The Rockpile Museum records local ranching, mining and settlement history.
