Cheyenne was founded on the banks of Crow Creek in July 1867. The town, named by Army General Grenville Dodge after the Indians who inhabited the area, took on many nicknames over the years. Cheyenne originally was referred to as "Hell on Wheels" because the first businesses to arrive at the new railhead were ones that traveled along with the Union Pacific as it broke ground westward across the Great Plains. These businesses were set up in tents with false store fronts. Most were drinking and gambling establishments that catered to the rough and tumble life of transient cowboys, local ranch hands, and the soldiers at nearby Fort D.A. Russell.
