Torrington: Goshen County Sugar Beet Country
Torrington sits in the North Platte Valley of eastern Wyoming, about 10 miles west of the Nebraska border and roughly 90 miles north of Cheyenne. The town was established in 1889 as a ranching stop and grew after irrigation projects along the North Platte River opened the surrounding valley to sugar beet, dry bean, and corn production in the early twentieth century. Torrington is the seat of Goshen County, which was organized in 1911.
The Western Sugar Cooperative operates a sugar beet processing plant on the west side of town, one of the last operating in Wyoming. Beet farming remains central to the agricultural calendar, with harvest running from late September through early November. Eastern Wyoming College, established in 1948, enrolls around 1,500 students on its main Torrington campus and operates programs in veterinary technology, ranching, and welding. The Homesteaders Museum, housed in the 1926 Union Pacific depot, preserves records and artifacts from the late homesteading era that brought families into the region under the 1909 Enlarged Homestead Act.
