Casper, on the North Platte River, is now the chief town in an area given up to agriculture and the oil industry. It is named after Lieutenant Caspar Collins, who tried to rescue a group of settlers beset by Indians on the Oregon Trail in 1865. Something of the period lives on in the reconstructed Fort Caspar on the western outskirts of the town.
