About South Pass City State Historic Site
South Pass City was established in 1867 after gold was discovered nearby, becoming a boomtown of prospectors and merchants along the historic South Pass route through the Rocky Mountains. In 1869 local legislator William Bright introduced the bill that granted Wyoming women the right to vote, a first for the nation. The town declined after the gold ran out.
