Notes

Laramie’s first newspaper publishers dubbed it, “The Gem City of the Plains,” in the 1870s. More recently, “Laradise” has become an equally popular epithet. We believe you’ll find both nicknames to be equally accurate. With 300 days of sunny skies each year and convenient access to hundreds of nearby outdoor recreation opportunities, Laramie is every outdoor enthusiast’s paradise.
The City of Laramie has a full-service Community Development Department staffed with a team of committed and responsive members, as well as an Economic and Community Initiatives Administrator who is dedicated to building partnerships that foster economic resilience.
