History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Park County was created on February 15, 1909 with land detached from Big Horn County. The county was named for Yellowstone National Park which is mostly within the limits of Park County.

In 1913, Hot Springs County was created from portions of Park County, Big Horn County, and Fremont County. Park County also had minor boundary adjustments in 1929 and 1931, but otherwise its boundaries have remained unchanged.
