Hot Springs County, Administrative division in Wyoming, United States.
Hot Springs County spans 2,006 square miles within the Bighorn Basin, bordered by the Owl Creek Mountains and Absaroka Range with numerous thermal springs.
The county formed in 1911 through lands from Big Horn, Fremont, and Park counties, establishing Thermopolis as its administrative center and largest municipality.
The Shoshone people created petroglyphs at Legend Rock and Bloody Hand Cave, depicting human figures, animals, and spiritual elements across the region.
The county clerk manages elections, while the emergency management department operates CodeRED notifications for immediate alerts to registered residents.
The thermal springs near Wind River Canyon derive heat from deep geological structures, differing from the geothermal mechanisms of Yellowstone springs.
