If you’re searching for the real American West, look no further than Cody, Wyoming. Founded in 1896 by that most authentic representative of the Old West, Col. William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody, this community of old and new reflects the vision of its founder.

Buffalo Bill lived up to the romantic idea of the brave, daring frontiersman. Through his personal exploits and his Wild West Show he became the world’s most well-known American. It is his name which represents the epitome of the Old West, and has provided a draw to this small western town where real cowboys still herd cattle but technology connects us to the global community.

The City of Cody lies about 20 miles east of the Shoshone National Forest, our country’s first national forest, and 52 miles east of the East Entrance to the world’s first national park, Yellowstone. Nestled at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Cody blends spectacularly beautiful and unspoiled scenery with outstanding attractions, extensive outdoor recreation, a variety of lodging facilities and restaurants, unique shopping and a bustling business community.

Of Wyoming’s 23 counties Park County probably reflects the state’s economy better than any other. It’s a mix of energy, agriculture, tourism and manufacturing, and Cody is at the heart of it all. Combine all that with the cultural amenities and mild climate, and you’ve found a community that is not only a great place to live but also to do business.
