Wyoming is one of the fifty states of the United States, with its capital and largest city being Cheyenne. The state had a population of 586,107 people in 2015, being the least populated state and second least densely populated. Wyoming was inhabited by the Crow, Arapaho, Lakota, and Shoshone until 1868, when the US government created the Wyoming Territory after the Union Pacific Railroad expanded to the region; violence broke out with the Sioux along the Bozeman Trail in Red Cloud's War, but the US Army at Fort Laramie succeeded in quelling the Indians and forcing them into reservations. On 10 December 1869, Wyoming was the first state to grant suffrage to women, and in 1870 the state had the first female bailiff, first female jury member, and first justice of the peace, and in 1925 Nellie Tayloe Ross became the first female governor of an American state.
