Overview

Atlantic City is a census-designated place (CDP) in Fremont County, Wyoming, United States. The population was 37 at the 2010 census. The community is a small mining settlement in a gulch near South Pass in southwestern Wyoming. It was founded in 1868 as a mining camp following the 1867 gold rush in the region. The "Atlantic" name refers to its location on the eastern side of the nearby Continental Divide. The town declined following the end of the placer gold rush in the early 1870s, but continued to exist as advances in mining technology allowed further extraction of gold. From the 1960s until 1983, it was the location of a US Steel iron ore mine. The town is accessible by gravel roads from nearby Wyoming Highway 28.
