Monument Hill and Hot Springs at Night - Thermopolis, Hot Springs County, Wyoming
 |
Organized 1911 |
 |
Hot Springs County was originally included in Fremont County. In 1890 Big Horn County was split off Fremont which included Hot Springs. Then in 1911 Hot Springs County was split off Big Horn. If your researching anyone before 1911 try looking for them in Big Horn County or Fremont County. [ At least this is as near as I have been able to piece it together. ] |
