Living in Rock Springs, WY

The plethora of mining companies in Wyoming fueled the local economy until the railroad converted to diesel and oil power in the early 20th century. Today, the trona mining industry is the largest in town, as the minefields near the Green River hold the largest known deposit in the world.

The city is home to Wyoming's traditionally friendly residents who openly welcome people from all different backgrounds into the community. With the acclaimed regional attractions and beautiful scenery that the West is famous for, Rock Springs is a great place to raise a family.
