Map of the United States with Wyoming highlighted

Wyoming is a state in the Western United States. According to the 2020 United States Census, Wyoming is the least populous state with 576,851 inhabitants but the 9th largest by land area spanning 97,093.14 square miles (251,470.1 km2) of land.[1] Wyoming has 23 counties and 99 municipalities consisting of cities and towns.[1] Wyoming's municipalities cover only 0.3% of the state's land mass but are home to 68.3% of its population.[2]

Wyoming's largest municipality by population is the capital city Cheyenne with 65,132 residents,[1] and the largest municipality by land area is Casper, which spans 26.9 sq mi (70 km2), while the smallest municipality in both categories is Lost Springs with 6 residents[1] and an area of 0.09 sq mi (0.23 km2).[2]

A Wyoming statute indicates towns are municipalities with populations of less than 4,000. Municipalities of 4,000 or more residents are considered "first-class cities".[3]
