Wyoming became the 44th State in 1890 and at the end of 2021 has a population of 578,803 Wyomingites. The state is known as the 'Equality State' because it was the first state to allow women to vote, serve on juries and hold public office.

It's pretty evident that Wyomingites aren't upset that many folks don't know much about the state, with comments like:

We're full

Stay away

With those kinds of numbers, you'd sure think that at least some of them would've researched or at least noticed some things.
