Community Information

Story

Location
The unincorporated community of Story is just 20 minutes to the south, but worlds apart from the busy community of Sheridan. Nestled in the pines along the banks of picturesque Piney Creek, this wooded bedroom community has long been a favorite summer retreat of locals and visitors alike. Abundant wildlife and peaceful scenery are a part of everyday life in Story.

History
Story Day Parade - photo courtesy of Dick WingStory, Wyoming was first platted by a horse trader named Marshall Wolf, who was going to name the town after himself but was dismayed to find that Wolf, Wyoming already existed nearby. The town was instead named after Charles B. Story, a rancher who was instrumental in getting a post office established - the first building in what had until then been a town made up of only tent structures.

Story Today
Story today features a post office, library, several motels and bed and breakfasts, excellent restaurants, and basic amenities. Public safety is maintained by the local volunteer fire department and the Sheridan County Sheriff’s department.
