Casper is located in east central Wyoming on the [[North Platte River]].
==History==
The city was established east of the former site of [[Fort Caspar]], in an area that grew for European settlers during the mid-19th century mass migration of land seekers along the [[Oregon Trail|Oregon]], [[California Trail|California]], and [[Mormon Trail|Mormon]] trails,<ref name="whf">{{Cite book|title=Wyoming's Historic Forts|last=Fifer|first=Barbara|publisher=Farcountry Press|pages=59–68}}</ref> where several nearby ferries offered passage across the North Platte River in the early 1840s. In 1859, Louis Guinard built a bridge and trading post near the original ferry locations, allowing overland travel to continue through the area.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://wyoshpo.state.wy.us/trailsdemo/platteriverfords.htm|title=Platte River Fords|publisher=Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office|access-date=March 4, 2008|archive-date=February 28, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080228134553/http://wyoshpo.state.wy.us/trailsdemo/platteriverfords.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
The government also posted the military garrison to protect [[telegraph]] and mail service. It was under the command of Lieutenant Colonel [[William O. Collins]].<ref name="whf" /> [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] attacks increased after the [[Sand Creek Massacre]] in Colorado in 1864, bringing more troops to the post, which was by now called Platte Bridge Station. In July 1865, Lt. Colonel William Collins' beloved son Lieutenant Caspar Collins was killed near the post by a group of Indian warriors, and three months later the garrison was renamed Fort Caspar in his son's honor.<ref name="whf"/>
In 1867, the troops were ordered to abandon Fort Caspar in favor of [[Fort Fetterman]], downstream on the North Platte along the [[Bozeman Trail]]. However, the town itself was settled twenty years later in 1887, and incorporated a year later by developers as an anticipated stopping point during the expansion of the [[Wyoming Central Railway]].
A site a few miles east was planned as the original site,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/348549405/|title=Casper Star-Tribune 19 Feb 1950, page 202 }}</ref> where homesteader Joshua Stroud lived prior to the actual construction of the train station for the [[Chicago and North Western Railway]].<ref>{{cite book|title=A History of the Origin of the Place Names in Nine Northwestern States|year=1908|page=128}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|date=January 1943|title=Wyoming Place Names|journal=Annals of Wyoming|volume=15|issue=1|pages=85–90}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=A History of the Chicago & North Western Railway System|year=1910|page=160}}</ref> The site was laid out by the Pioneer Town Site Company in 1888 and was known as Strouds, but the name Casper soon prevailed. While the name is derived from Fort Caspar and Lt. Caspar Collins, it is officially named "Casper" due to a [[typographical error|typo]] occurring during the official registration.
Casper was an early commercial rival to both Bessemer and [[Douglas, Wyoming]]. The absence of a railhead doomed Bessemer in favor of Casper, while Douglas, also a railhead, survives to the present day. This rail presence also made Casper the starting off point for the "invaders" in the [[Johnson County War]], since the chartered train carrying the men from Texas stopped at Casper.
In more recent history, the city received a significant influx of visitors during the [[solar eclipse of August 21, 2017]], due to its position along the path of totality.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/more-than-a-million-people-visited-wyoming-for-eclipse-early/article_93901bc1-4591-5350-95a9-571d97b23109.html|title=More than a million people may have visited Wyoming for eclipse; one person came by sea plane|author=Christine Peterson|website=Trib.com|access-date=January 9, 2018}}</ref>

[[Interstate 25 in Wyoming|Interstate 25]], which approaches Casper from the north and east, is the main avenue of transportation to and from the city. The towns immediately adjacent to Casper are [[Mills, Wyoming|Mills]], [[Evansville, Wyoming|Evansville]], and [[Bar Nunn, Wyoming|Bar Nunn]]. Unincorporated areas include Allendale, Dempsey Acres, Red Buttes, Indian Springs, and several others.

==Climate==
Casper, as with most of the rest of Wyoming, has a continental [[semi-arid climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]]: ''BSk''), with long, cold, but dry winters, hot but generally dry summers, mild springs, and short and crisp autumns. Normal daily maxima range from {{convert|35.2|F|1}} in January to {{convert|89.0|F|1}} in July. Snow can fall heavily during the winter and early to mid-spring months, and usually falls in May and October. Precipitation is greatest in spring and early summer, but even then it is not high. Highs reach {{convert|90|F|1}} on 37.8 days per year and fail to surpass freezing on 41.3. Lows drop to {{convert|0|F|1}} on an average of 14.6 nights annually. The highest temperature recorded in Casper was {{convert|104|°F|1}} on July 12, 1954, July 16, 2005, and July 29, 2006, while the lowest temperature recorded was {{convert|-42|°F|1}} on [[Late December 2022 North American winter storm#Cold wave|December 22, 2022]].<ref name=NOWData />

==Economy==
Casper is a regional center of banking and commerce.
[[File:Oilrefinery-evansville,wy.jpg|thumb|right|Sinclair's Casper refinery in nearby [[Evansville, Wyoming|Evansville]]]]
After the discovery of [[crude oil]] in the region during the 1890s, Casper became the regional petroleum industry center. Oil has figured prominently in its history from nearly the outset. Oil was first discovered in the famous [[Salt Creek Oil Field]] in 1889, approximately {{convert|40|mi|0}} north of Casper; the first refinery in Casper was built in 1895. The city has featured a refinery ever since, although various refineries have been built and closed over the years. As recently as the early 1980s, the city was near or home to three refineries. The surviving one, operated by [[Sinclair Oil Corporation]], is located nearby in Evansville. Development of Wyoming [[coal]] and [[uranium]] fields in recent decades has helped Casper continue its role as a center in the energy industry.

Casper is located in east central Wyoming on the [[North Platte River]].
==History==
The city was established east of the former site of [[Fort Caspar]], in an area that grew for European settlers during the mid-19th century mass migration of land seekers along the [[Oregon Trail|Oregon]], [[California Trail|California]], and [[Mormon Trail|Mormon]] trails,<ref name="whf">{{Cite book|title=Wyoming's Historic Forts|last=Fifer|first=Barbara|publisher=Farcountry Press|pages=59–68}}</ref> where several nearby ferries offered passage across the North Platte River in the early 1840s. In 1859, Louis Guinard built a bridge and trading post near the original ferry locations, allowing overland travel to continue through the area.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://wyoshpo.state.wy.us/trailsdemo/platteriverfords.htm|title=Platte River Fords|publisher=Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office|access-date=March 4, 2008|archive-date=February 28, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080228134553/http://wyoshpo.state.wy.us/trailsdemo/platteriverfords.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
The government also posted the military garrison to protect [[telegraph]] and mail service. It was under the command of Lieutenant Colonel [[William O. Collins]].<ref name="whf" /> [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] attacks increased after the [[Sand Creek Massacre]] in Colorado in 1864, bringing more troops to the post, which was by now called Platte Bridge Station. In July 1865, Lt. Colonel William Collins' beloved son Lieutenant Caspar Collins was killed near the post by a group of Indian warriors, and three months later the garrison was renamed Fort Caspar in his son's honor.<ref name="whf"/>
In 1867, the troops were ordered to abandon Fort Caspar in favor of [[Fort Fetterman]], downstream on the North Platte along the [[Bozeman Trail]]. However, the town itself was settled twenty years later in 1887, and incorporated a year later by developers as an anticipated stopping point during the expansion of the [[Wyoming Central Railway]].
A site a few miles east was planned as the original site,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/348549405/|title=Casper Star-Tribune 19 Feb 1950, page 202 }}</ref> where homesteader Joshua Stroud lived prior to the actual construction of the train station for the [[Chicago and North Western Railway]].<ref>{{cite book|title=A History of the Origin of the Place Names in Nine Northwestern States|year=1908|page=128}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|date=January 1943|title=Wyoming Place Names|journal=Annals of Wyoming|volume=15|issue=1|pages=85–90}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=A History of the Chicago & North Western Railway System|year=1910|page=160}}</ref> The site was laid out by the Pioneer Town Site Company in 1888 and was known as Strouds, but the name Casper soon prevailed. While the name is derived from Fort Caspar and Lt. Caspar Collins, it is officially named "Casper" due to a [[typographical error|typo]] occurring during the official registration.
Casper was an early commercial rival to both Bessemer and [[Douglas, Wyoming]]. The absence of a railhead doomed Bessemer in favor of Casper, while Douglas, also a railhead, survives to the present day. This rail presence also made Casper the starting off point for the "invaders" in the [[Johnson County War]], since the chartered train carrying the men from Texas stopped at Casper.
In more recent history, the city received a significant influx of visitors during the [[solar eclipse of August 21, 2017]], due to its position along the path of totality.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/more-than-a-million-people-visited-wyoming-for-eclipse-early/article_93901bc1-4591-5350-95a9-571d97b23109.html|title=More than a million people may have visited Wyoming for eclipse; one person came by sea plane|author=Christine Peterson|website=Trib.com|access-date=January 9, 2018}}</ref>

==Economy==
Casper is a regional center of banking and commerce.
[[File:Oilrefinery-evansville,wy.jpg|thumb|right|Sinclair's Casper refinery in nearby [[Evansville, Wyoming|Evansville]]]]
After the discovery of [[crude oil]] in the region during the 1890s, Casper became the regional petroleum industry center. Oil has figured prominently in its history from nearly the outset. Oil was first discovered in the famous [[Salt Creek Oil Field]] in 1889, approximately {{convert|40|mi|0}} north of Casper; the first refinery in Casper was built in 1895. The city has featured a refinery ever since, although various refineries have been built and closed over the years. As recently as the early 1980s, the city was near or home to three refineries. The surviving one, operated by [[Sinclair Oil Corporation]], is located nearby in Evansville. Development of Wyoming [[coal]] and [[uranium]] fields in recent decades has helped Casper continue its role as a center in the energy industry.

<p>The city was established east of the former site of <a href="/wiki/Fort_Caspar" title="Fort Caspar">Fort Caspar</a>, in an area that grew for European settlers during the mid-19th century mass migration of land seekers along the <a href="/wiki/Oregon_Trail" title="Oregon Trail">Oregon</a>, <a href="/wiki/California_Trail" title="California Trail">California</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Mormon_Trail" title="Mormon Trail">Mormon</a> trails,<sup id="cite_ref-whf_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-whf-8">[8]</a></sup> where several nearby ferries offered passage across the North Platte River in the early 1840s. In 1859, Louis Guinard built a bridge and trading post near the original ferry locations, allowing overland travel to continue through the area.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a></sup>
</p><p>The government also posted the military garrison to protect <a href="/wiki/Telegraph" class="mw-redirect" title="Telegraph">telegraph</a> and mail service. It was under the command of Lieutenant Colonel <a href="/wiki/William_O._Collins" title="William O. Collins">William O. Collins</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-whf_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-whf-8">[8]</a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States" title="Native Americans in the United States">Native American</a> attacks increased after the <a href="/wiki/Sand_Creek_Massacre" class="mw-redirect" title="Sand Creek Massacre">Sand Creek Massacre</a> in Colorado in 1864, bringing more troops to the post, which was by now called Platte Bridge Station. In July 1865, Lt. Colonel William Collins' beloved son Lieutenant Caspar Collins was killed near the post by a group of Indian warriors, and three months later the garrison was renamed Fort Caspar in his son's honor.<sup id="cite_ref-whf_8-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-whf-8">[8]</a></sup>
</p><p>In 1867, the troops were ordered to abandon Fort Caspar in favor of <a href="/wiki/Fort_Fetterman" title="Fort Fetterman">Fort Fetterman</a>, downstream on the North Platte along the <a href="/wiki/Bozeman_Trail" title="Bozeman Trail">Bozeman Trail</a>. However, the town itself was settled twenty years later in 1887, and incorporated a year later by developers as an anticipated stopping point during the expansion of the <a href="/wiki/Wyoming_Central_Railway" title="Wyoming Central Railway">Wyoming Central Railway</a>.
</p><p>A site a few miles east was planned as the original site,<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a></sup> where homesteader Joshua Stroud lived prior to the actual construction of the train station for the <a href="/wiki/Chicago_and_North_Western_Railway" class="mw-redirect" title="Chicago and North Western Railway">Chicago and North Western Railway</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a></sup> The site was laid out by the Pioneer Town Site Company in 1888 and was known as Strouds, but the name Casper soon prevailed. While the name is derived from Fort Caspar and Lt. Caspar Collins, it is officially named "Casper" due to a <a href="/wiki/Typographical_error" title="Typographical error">typo</a> occurring during the official registration.
</p><p>Casper was an early commercial rival to both Bessemer and <a href="/wiki/Douglas,_Wyoming" title="Douglas, Wyoming">Douglas, Wyoming</a>. The absence of a railhead doomed Bessemer in favor of Casper, while Douglas, also a railhead, survives to the present day. This rail presence also made Casper the starting off point for the "invaders" in the <a href="/wiki/Johnson_County_War" title="Johnson County War">Johnson County War</a>, since the chartered train carrying the men from Texas stopped at Casper.
</p><p>In more recent history, the city received a significant influx of visitors during the <a href="/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017" title="Solar eclipse of August 21, 2017">solar eclipse of August 21, 2017</a>, due to its position along the path of totality.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a></sup>

<p>After the discovery of <a href="/wiki/Crude_oil" class="mw-redirect" title="Crude oil">crude oil</a> in the region during the 1890s, Casper became the regional petroleum industry center. Oil has figured prominently in its history from nearly the outset. Oil was first discovered in the famous <a href="/wiki/Salt_Creek_Oil_Field" title="Salt Creek Oil Field">Salt Creek Oil Field</a> in 1889, approximately 40 miles (64 km) north of Casper; the first refinery in Casper was built in 1895. The city has featured a refinery ever since, although various refineries have been built and closed over the years. As recently as the early 1980s, the city was near or home to three refineries. The surviving one, operated by <a href="/wiki/Sinclair_Oil_Corporation" title="Sinclair Oil Corporation">Sinclair Oil Corporation</a>, is located nearby in Evansville. Development of Wyoming <a href="/wiki/Coal" title="Coal">coal</a> and <a href="/wiki/Uranium" title="Uranium">uranium</a> fields in recent decades has helped Casper continue its role as a center in the energy industry.
