About Wyoming Land Records
Wyoming is a federal-land state. Lands were generally acquired from
the federal government or from other individuals. Several land offices
were opened in Wyoming, the first having opened at Cheyenne in 1870.
Records generated through these offices include cash entries, homestead
certificates, canceled homestead entries, timber-culture final certificates,
canceled timber-culture entries, desert-land final certificates, canceled
desert-land entries, and timber and stone lands. An inventory of all
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) records on file at the National Archives
Rocky Mountain Region in Denver can be found in Eileen Bolger, Preliminary
Inventory of the Records of the Bureau of Land Management‹Wyoming
(Denver, Colo.: Federal Archives and Records Center, 1983). BLM posessions
consist of the records of the six land offices and include land patents,
rights, and claims. The BLM office in Cheyenne has records of the grantees
of the original land patents.
Lands transacted between individuals were recorded at the county level.
All county land transactions are available at the Wyoming State Archives
from 1869 to 1970, as well as all unpatented homestead records. For
