Crook County, Administrative county in northeastern Wyoming, United States
Crook County extends across 2,865 square miles of terrain, including the Missouri Buttes and the Bear Lodge Mountains in northeastern Wyoming.
The Wyoming Territory legislature established Crook County in December 1875, naming it after Brigadier General George Crook, a commander during the Indian Wars.
The county population maintains strong ties to German, English, Irish, and Swedish heritage, with religious practices centered around Protestant and LDS Church congregations.
Interstate 90 and multiple US highways connect the main towns of Sundance, Hulett, and Moorcroft, providing access to Rapid City and Gillette.
The Belle Fourche River marks Wyoming's lowest elevation point as it flows from Crook County into South Dakota through the Black Hills National Forest.
