Torrington

The landscape around Torrington is broad, semi-arid prairie watered by the North Platte River, which has shaped both the town’s layout and its agricultural economy. As the seat of Goshen County, Torrington serves irrigated farms where sugar beets, corn and hay are important crops. Its early growth was closely linked to irrigation and sugar-beet processing, a legacy reflected in the cultivated river valley. Eastern Wyoming College adds to the town’s role as an educational and service centre for this sparsely populated part of the state. The Oregon Trail and the historic Fort Laramie area place Torrington within one of the American West’s best-known migration corridors.
