Green River: Seat of Sweetwater County on the River of the Same Name
Green River is the county seat of Sweetwater County and sits along the river that cuts through southwestern Wyoming on its way to the Colorado. The town was established as a Union Pacific Railroad stop in 1868, just ahead of John Wesley Powell's 1869 expedition that launched from the bridge here to map the Colorado River system through the Grand Canyon. Powell's party spent several weeks preparing boats and provisions in Green River before pushing off downstream on May 24.
Trona mining defines the modern economy. The deposits under Sweetwater County are the largest in the world, and the underground operations of several major chemical producers extend across the desert west of town. The Flaming Gorge Reservoir, south of Green River, backs up behind a 502-foot concrete arch dam completed in 1964 on the Green River. The reservoir extends 91 miles into Utah and draws anglers targeting lake trout and kokanee salmon.
