Powell

The Bighorn Basin defines the setting of Powell — its wide, irrigated plains support fields and give this northwestern Wyoming town an expansive horizon below the Absaroka Range. Founded in 1909 during development of the federal Shoshone irrigation project, Powell grew as an agricultural centre; sugar beets, beans and other crops remain part of the local economy. Northwest College adds a campus presence, while the nearby Heart Mountain Interpretive Center documents the wartime confinement of Japanese Americans at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center.
