Region & Climate

Located in Northeast Wyoming, Gillette sits between the Black Hills to the east and the Big Horn Mountains to the west, giving it both economic and geographic advantage. With a population of over 33,000, the city has evolved into a regional center for commerce, logistics, and essential services, supported by a regional airport, modern healthcare, and expanding educational institutions.

Gillette experiences a semi-arid, high plains climate with warm summers, cold winters, and approximately 15 inches of annual precipitation, mostly in the spring and early summer. Snowfall averages around 50 inches per year, and clear skies and wide temperature ranges support year-round construction and operations-making it an ideal environment for investment and development.

History

Founded in 1891 as a stop on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, Gillette was officially incorporated in 1892 and quickly became a vital shipping and trade center in Northeast Wyoming. Named after railroad surveyor Edward Gillette, the town was built on ranching and rail-and later transformed by energy.

The discovery of vast coal reserves in the Powder River Basin marked a new era, solidifying Gillette's reputation as the Energy Capital of the Nation. Today, the city remains a major hub for coal, oil, and natural gas production and has grown into a key driver of Wyoming's economy.
