Thermopolis, County seat in Hot Springs County, Wyoming, United States.
The town stands at an elevation of 1320 meters near Wind River Canyon, where the Wind River transforms into the Bighorn River.
The settlement began in 1897 after local tribes signed a treaty allowing public access to the mineral springs for health treatments.
