Cheyenne is both Wyoming's largest city and its capital. It became an official city after the Union Pacific Railroad established a station there in 1867. Just months after the announcement, the first train stopped in the city. It brought dozens of new residents that day and in the coming days, which earned Cheyenne the nickname of "The Magic City of the Plains." Cheyenne grew even larger after the army established a nearby base called Fort D.A. Russell. The city became the capital of the Territory of Wyoming and remained the capital after Wyoming became a state.
