From its inception in 1867, the railroad and the military have always played an important role in the community's heritage.  The pride and honor in its beginings has developed a modern Cheyenne that is a strong economic center for entrepenuers and industry, a leader in dynamic education, and the power center of the states governmental entities.  As Wyoming's capital city, Cheyenne is home to large contingents of state, federal and local government and a large private service sector based on the government economy. Public and Private partnerships thrive here to create an economy that is vibrant and robust.

Cheyenne's largest employer is F.E. Warren Air Force Base, with about 4,200 military and civilian employees. Federal government has over 3,000 non-military employees in Cheyenne, and state government has nearly as many. Laramie County School District Number 1 and United Medical Center are also major employers.

Union Pacific Railroad remains the largest private employer with about 800 employees. Other large private employers include refineries, hotels, nursing homes, discount retail stores, banks, mail-order companies, light industrial, telecommunications, and a credit card servicing firm, with smaller businesses making up a growing retail and service sector.

While appreciating the stability of its government-based economy, Cheyenne's business community is actively working to diversify the economy and expand the economic base. The recent addition of several high-profile national businesses and industries is being hailed as a positive step toward that goal.
