Attractions
Cody, Wyoming is a unique and historic community located at the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park, the world’s first national park (Mar. 1, 1872), in northwest Wyoming. It is a place where the cowboy culture thrives and where the new west begins, where the panoramas are spectacular, the landscape rugged, and the community is genuinely friendly. In 1906 President Teddy Roosevelt designated Devil’s Tower near Hulett in Northeastern Wyoming, the nation’s first national monument.
Cody provides the cultural and social amenities, shopping, family activities and the feel of a large city while maintaining the rural character and quality of life of a small western community due to the excellent infrastructure and prime location as established in 1896 by its founder, Colonel William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody. The only gateway community with two entrances to Yellowstone National Park, Cody is the hub for several loop tour drives accessing five Scenic Byways is a true testament to its founder’s entrepreneurial and economic foresight.
