May 27

1914 On May 27, 1914, the Cheyenne State Leader reported on the results of the sale of lots in the "new town" of Chugwater. Chugwater wasn't new. It had been a post office since 1872 and a railroad station on the Cheyenne Northern Railroad since 1887. This growth was a result of the dry farming that was occurring in the area.
