Location
CWC sits near the confluence of the Big and Little Wind Rivers in Fremont County. CWC was founded in 1966 by a county-wide vote, though community leaders originally conceived the idea of a community college in the county in 1950. Though the main campus was located in Riverton, Lander School District officials immediately made classrooms available for classes and over the years Central Wyoming College became a true community college by extending the campus to Lander, and later to other locations in Fremont County. Eventually the college’s service area grew to also include Hot Springs and Teton counties.
