Wheatland, the county seat and largest town in Platte County, has a population of just over 3,500. Located right in the middle of the largest privately financed irrigation district in the United States, this is a community of hard-working, self-reliant people. Interstate 25, the major north-south highway for Wyoming, makes Wheatland an important stop for travelers of all types, and it offers many services to meet their needs. The agricultural community is also strong, and the farmers and ranchers work hard and invest wisely to produce the best product possible. Wheatland is also home to the Laramie River Power Station, a 1,500-megawatt coal-fed power plant, wonderful public schools, a dynamic and up-to-date public library, great medical facilities, a beautiful city park and a lot of caring people. In recent years, civic-minded folks have undertaken projects to turn Wheatland’s downtown and other neighborhoods into attractive places to live, work and shop.
