Albany County

Albany County has served as an educational and ranching center within southeastern Wyoming since the late 19th century. Laramie, the county seat, is home to the University of Wyoming, founded in 1886, giving this sparsely settled county a strong academic presence. The Laramie River crosses terrain that changes from open high plains to the Medicine Bow Mountains and Snowy Range. West of Laramie, Medicine Bow National Forest brings forests, high-country roads, and trail access into the county’s orbit, while winters can be severe. Rail heritage, cattle country, and university life all meet in Laramie. Trace Albany County’s place in southeastern Wyoming by browsing webcams nearby.
