AREA HISTORY
The Heart Mountain Homestead is a vibrant community in Park County located between Powell and Cody, two Wyoming towns. Its history is deeply intertwined with the development of the American West. The area was initially inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Shoshone, Crow, and Arapaho peoples, who relied on the abundant wildlife and natural resources for their sustenance and way of life.
In the late 19th century, European settlers began to arrive in the region, drawn by the opportunities for ranching, logging, and eventually tourism. Wapiti served as a stopover point for travelers and adventurers heading into Yellowstone National Park, which was established as the world’s first national park in 1872.
The nearby town of Cody, Wyoming, is also rich in history. Buffalo Bill played a pivotal role in the town’s development, investing in its infrastructure and promoting tourism through his renowned Wild West shows, which showcased cowboy culture, Native American traditions, and thrilling feats of horsemanship.
Over the years, Cody and Powell evolved into a vibrant community, attracting settlers, entrepreneurs, and artists drawn to its rugged beauty and pioneering spirit. Today, the town is known for its Western heritage, outdoor recreational opportunities, and cultural attractions, including the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, which celebrates the legacy of its namesake and preserves the history of the American West for future generations.
The area has remained a gateway to Yellowstone throughout the years, attracting visitors with its stunning landscapes, outdoor recreational opportunities, and rustic charm. Today, it continues to thrive as a hub for tourism and a haven for those seeking to experience the untamed beauty of the American West.
