Downtown Worland Wyoming during the Harvest Festival
Historically, Worland was
founded in 1906 on the west side of the Big Horn River. However, as the railroad moved into the area, tracks were laid to the east of the river. The town's founders, eager to benefit from the railroad, agreed a move was necessary. During the winter, town residents slid their homes, businesses and belongings across the frozen Big Horn River and relocated at the town's present site.

The proud heritage of this community can still be seen through the many churches, schools, parks and local hospital. Warm and friendly, Worland is truly a Western town to remember.
