History

• Situated at the confluence of the Big and Little Wind Rivers, Riverton has long been a natural gathering place, earning it the nickname ‘The Rendezvous City’. Its history spans from Native American communities to mountain men and trappers who came to trade, followed by loggers, miners, and the arrival of the railroad. Established in 1906 on land ceded from the Wind River Reservation, the town has since grown to include Central Wyoming College and serves as a gateway for travelers heading toward Yellowstone
• Today, Riverton continues to honor its past with annual events and cultural traditions that reflect its heritage of gathering. Visitors can explore the 1838 Mountain Man Rendezvous site and reenactment, attend Native American dance exhibitions, or walk the Rails to Trails system that winds through town—all opportunities to experience the living history woven into Riverton’s character
