Lincoln County was created February 21, 1911, with land detached from Uinta County. Its government was organized in 1913.

The county was named for Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth president of the United States.

In 1921, portions of Lincoln County were annexed to create Sublette County and Teton County, leaving Lincoln County with its present borders.
