Lincoln County, Administrative county in western Wyoming, United States.
Lincoln County spans 4,095 square miles along the Idaho and Utah borders, featuring varied terrain from mountains to valleys across western Wyoming.
The county was established in February 1911 from part of Uinta County and named after President Abraham Lincoln, with full organization completed in 1913.
The Johnson County War between cattle barons and small farmers in the late 1800s shaped the regional identity and influenced numerous Western narratives.
The county seat of Kemmerer serves residents through government offices, while the region maintains two separate school districts for educational services.
The territory underwent significant changes in 1921 when portions were separated to create both Sublette County and Teton County, defining current boundaries.
