Cheyenne County, Administrative county seat in eastern Colorado, United States.
Cheyenne County spreads across flat plains in eastern Colorado, cut through by several creeks that shape the terrain. Grasslands and farm fields dominate the landscape throughout the region.
The Cheyenne Indians relied on water sources in this area before American settlement took hold. The county was established in 1889 as a new territorial administrative division.
Ranching traditions remain woven into daily life here, visible in the numerous working farms scattered across the plains and in seasonal agricultural gatherings. Visitors notice this heritage reflected in how the land is used and how people talk about their work.
The county administration is located in Cheyenne Wells and operates during standard business hours on weekdays. Plan for flat terrain and consider that settlements and services are spread far apart.
Within the county borders sits one of the world's rare helium processing facilities, the Ladder Creek Helium Plant. This industrial presence reveals an unexpected side to what appears as a purely agricultural region.
