Hollywood Magic and Laramie's Western History HOLLYWOOD MAGIC AND LARAMIE’S WESTERN HISTORY Laramie is rich in western history; Native Americans, fur trappers, Fort Sanders, the UP Railroad and famous outlaws made up just a part of our western heritage. Hollywood built on Laramie’s western heritage to base its movies and TV shows. The 1950s and 1960s were the heyday for westerns, from shows like “Lawman” (1958-62) staring John Russell, “Laramie” (1959-63) staring John Smith and Robert Fuller, films like “The Man From Laramie” (1955) staring James Stewart, “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (1969) staring Paul Newman and Robert Redford to more modern western shows like “Hell on Wheels” starring Anson Mount, Laramie has had its share of western shows. Make sure you’re in town for this year’s Laramie Jubilee Days, with our special guest Robert Fuller - July 13-15, 2017. Go to: visitlaramie.org/robert-fuller/.

In the fall of 2008, 138 years later, the U.S. Congress passes a resolution proclaiming September 6th as “Louisa Swain Day” in recognition of this historic event. Historic Wyoming Women The Wyoming House for Historic Women honors 1. Louisa Gardner Swain: The first woman in the world to cast a ballot under laws giving women full equality to men, September 6, 1870. The 19th Amendment was passed in 1920, 50 years after Louisa casted the first vote! 2. Eliza Stewart: The first woman subpoenaed to serve on a court jury. She was Laramie’s fist school teacher and her notice for jury duty was delivered in March of 1870. Eliza went on to establish Laramie’s first library. 3. Martha Symons Boies: She arrived in Laramie, Wyoming in a horse drawn cart with her children in 1868. She became the first woman in the world appointed as a bailiff. Her appointment took place in March of 1870 in Laramie, Wyoming.

  • Appendix 1: Building the Plan
    Appendix 1: Building A1The Plan A1.1 CURRENT LAND USE ISSUES AND DIRECTIONS ESTABLISHED IN THIS UP- DATE Albany County’s previous Comprehensive Plan was prepared in 1997. This current update to the Compre- hensive Plan will supersede the 1997 Comprehensive Plan. Changes have occurred in Albany County since 1997 and this plan reflects current thinking in the community as well as considers the next 20-year planning period. Issues and directions are the result of multiple hours of community input from the public, County and City staff, and stakeholders through interviews, public meetings, surveys, and dialogues. The following is a list of current issues and concerns to be addressed with this update: » Unplanned development, » Lack of protection for natural resources, » Loss of agricultural lands, » Assessor based zoning, » Lack of funding, » Lack of development enforcement, » Road and corridor issues, » Economic development needs, » Emergency services response times. Figure A1.1: Rational Planning Model A1.2 PLANNING PROCESS This update was developed through a lengthy process of work sessions with the Board of County Commis- sioners and the Planning and Zoning Commission, a series of three well-attended public workshops, review by the Citizens’ Advisory Committee and County staff, and input from several regional agencies. This plan was drafted and then circulated for public comment. The Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of County Commissioners reviewed the input, and after appropriate revisions and public hearings, the Board of County Commissioners formally adopted this comprehensive plan. Under the direction of County staff, the Comprehensive Plan consultants provided opportunities for the public and other stakeholders to participate at each key step of the Comprehensive Plan process.
