Carbon County, Administrative region in south central Wyoming, United States
Carbon County extends across 7964 square miles of varied terrain, including mountain ranges, grasslands, and the North Platte River valley.
The territory gained its name in 1868 due to extensive coal deposits that attracted miners and railroad workers to the region.
The county maintains multiple museums displaying artifacts from Native American settlements, mining operations, and early railroad development periods.
The county government offices provide essential services from the courthouse in Rawlins, including property records, vehicle registration, and business permits.
The Continental Divide splits through Carbon County, making it a crucial point where waters flow either toward the Pacific or Atlantic oceans.
