"Excellence in service to the Rendezvous City"
Riverton is the rendezvous community of Wyoming past, present, and future. For centuries, people have chosen the Wind River Valley as a place to come together. It started with the Native Americans who felt it was a special place. Mountain men, prospectors, and homesteaders followed.
That rendezvous tradition continues today with a strong sense of civic pride in a friendly, enthusiastic, and progressive community with an unsurpassed quality of life.
Riverton is located in Fremont County on the Wind River Indian Reservation, in Central Wyoming. Founded August 16, 1906, the economy is based in mining, oil and gas exploration, agriculture and tourism. Surrounded by mountains and rivers the clear air elevation is 4,956 feet above sea level. With an average annual temperature of 44.4 degrees, less than 30% humidity, and 347 days of sunshine. With just over 10,000 folks living in the city and over 36,000 in the county. The Riverton Ranger is local, family-owned, daily paper. Riverton offers a small town atmosphere with the commercial support of a larger community.
