History
The area that would become Meeteetse was occupied by the Shoshone and Crow people. The 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty placed the Crow Reservation to the north and Wind River Reservation to the South leaving the area open for white settlers. Around 1878 Otto Franc began Pitchfork Ranch near what is now Meeteetse. William McNally arrived around 1886 and built a blacksmith shop. It was located on the Meeteetse Creek. When Park County was split from Big Horn County in 1909, Meeteetse became part of Park County. In 2023 the town council voted to annex 390 acres into the town. The town previously was 557 acres. There were no immediate plans for the land, though the mayor said it could be used for light industrial companies or residential. In 2025 the city annexed 78 acres. Also in 2025 there were plans to build a bronze foundry.
