City & Place Guide

Historic Wyoming fur trade post where the frontier came alive

Fort Bridger is a small unincorporated community in southwestern Wyoming, best known for the historic Fort Bridger State Historic Site. Originally established in 1843 by legendary mountain man Jim Bridger and his partner Louis Vasquez as a fur trading post, the site later served as a U.S. Army post and was a critical stop for emigrants traveling the Oregon, California, and Mormon trails.

Today the town is a quiet, rural destination that draws history enthusiasts, families, and road trippers passing through on Interstate 80. The reconstructed fort offers a rare glimpse into mid-19th century frontier life, complete with period buildings, artifacts, and living history demonstrations during summer months.
