The USA’s “Most Lawless Town” Is Now One Of Wyoming’s Most Underrated But Scenic

A landlocked state located in the northwestern United States, Wyoming is known for its beautiful mountain towns with an excellent quality of life, its under-the-radar small towns, and the many scenic views you'll only find in the Wyoming countryside. Wyoming is also the location of Yellowstone, the first national park, which is actually spread out across three states.

However, underneath Wyoming's gorgeous landscapes is a darker history of conflict and violence. During the late 19th century, many of its towns were well-known for outlaw activity, with stories about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as well as Buffalo Bill making lasting imprints on American culture.

One of these towns is Buffalo, Wyoming, which, at one point, was dubbed the "most lawless town" in the United States. However, over time, the town has transformed into one of Wyoming's most underrated but scenic mountain destinations. Discover the origins of Buffalo's title as the "most lawless town" and how its transformation began.
