Wyoming has the lowest population of all 50 states with a total population of 584,153. Our largest city is Cheyenne with 62,448. The second largest is Casper with 59,628. The smallest town in Wyoming is Lost Springs in Converse County. Total inhabitants? Four. In 1976, both the state of Wyoming and the U.S. Bicentennial Commission designated Lost Springs as the smallest incorporated town in America.
Have you ever lived in a small town?
Oh my word New Jersey is like the exact opposite with more people per capita than any other state. It's a small state but super crowded. I am really wanting to visit Wyoming more and more.
ReplyDeleteJayburd it is funny how you have a small state with many people and I have a large state with few people.
DeleteI grew up in a small town of less than 10,000, nearly 100 kilometres away from the nearest "city" of any size (and even that was only about 35k). Newfoundland is an island about the size of Japan, but has a population of about 500,000 compared to Japan's 150 MILLION.
ReplyDeleteC.D. It's hard to imagine a city with 150 million people. Wow!
DeleteI didn't realize Wyoming was the least populated. I've lived in large cities, and small towns. I used to joke that my hometown has the "Entering" and "Leaving" sign on the same signpost, and we had to fire the dog-catcher when the family with the dog moved out.
ReplyDeleteTrudy, small towns are everywhere. In Wyoming, Cheyenne is considered the Big City for some. LOL
ReplyDeleteGrew up in small towns in Southern Illinois - populations from 2500-3000 or so. Loved it. Just went back for a visit (which is why I'm late commenting and catching up now). Went out to visit some childhood haunts with my wife and brother. We stopped for a sandwich at a place we ate at a lot growing up - ran into my eighth grade English teacher and a guy who used to work for my dad. I love small towns.
