Lincoln

Built around the Bear River basin and a ranching economy, Lincoln grew into a largely rural county in western Wyoming. Its territory reaches from sagebrush country to the Wyoming and Salt River ranges, while the Bear River runs through the county’s south. Kemmerer, the county seat, is associated with J. C. Penney, who opened his first Golden Rule store there in 1902. Nearby Fossil Butte National Monument protects remarkable deposits from ancient Fossil Lake, including fish, plants and insects dating back about 50 million years. Lincoln County also lies within the wider landscapes of the Bridger-Teton National Forest, where weather and seasonal road access shape travel.
