Welcome to Southeast Wyoming
Quirky college town Laramie and the state capital city Cheyenne reside in this urban region
Southeast Wyoming is a slightly more urban area compared to the surrounding regions.

Home to the University of Wyoming, Laramie is notable for its western culture and outdoor adventure. The state capital of Wyoming, Cheyenne also resides in the southeast region of the state.
