History
The town of Thermopolis to the west became a town in 1899. It mainly grew on the west side of the river. The east side of the river did have a store, two saloons and an eating house but significantly fewer people. At one time it was known as Andersonville.
Geography
East Thermopolis is near the northern end of the Wind River Canyon and Wedding of the Waters, where the north-flowing Wind River becomes the Bighorn River, an instance of a river changing names at a point other than a confluence of two streams. The dual name is ascribed to the mountain barrier between the Wind River and Bighorn basins, obscuring the fact that the river that drains the two is the same. East Thermopolis is ringed by mountains, with the Big Horn Mountains to the northeast, the Bridger Mountains to the southeast, the Owl Creek Mountains to the southwest and the Absaroka Range to the northwest.
