About Fort Bridger
Fort Bridger is a quiet community of about 350 residents in southwestern Wyoming's Bridger Valley. Mountain man Jim Bridger founded the original outpost in 1843 to supply travelers on the Oregon, California, and Mormon trails, and that frontier heritage still shapes local life. The town surrounds the Fort Bridger State Historic Site, known for its restored 19th-century buildings and a massive annual mountain man rendezvous. For anyone looking to relocate, it offers open spaces, a slow pace, and a close-knit rural neighborhood.
