The Star Valley Independant reports that Lincoln County is planniong it's centennial celebration. The Lincoln County Centennial Celebration Planning Committee is hard at work studying the history of the county in order to bring to life the past that has brought us to the present. The planning commision is working on activities and events that will help honor the 100th birthday of the county. “1911 was an interesting year for the young state of Wyoming,” said Judy Clinger Rose of the centennial committee. “The Wyoming Territory was originally made up of five counties extending the entire distance of the territory from the north to south. But by the time Wyoming gained statehood in 1890 the original counties had been divided into 13 counties. The only one that had escaped division at that time was Uinta County in the western part of the state. By 1911 several counties had delegations that were clamoring for division.” she says.
