History

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

Teton County was created February 15, 1921, with land detached from Lincoln County.

The county was named for the Teton Range. The county was created because the inhabitants lived too far away from Kemmerer, the county seat of Lincoln County. The creation of the county required a special act of the Wyoming Legislature, because the area was too poor and had too few people to qualify for county status under the normal requirements.
