Mills, WY

Sitting right across the North Platte River from Casper, Mills is a small, quiet community of roughly 4,000 residents. The town got its start back in 1919 as a quick boomtown for local refinery crews and gravel workers. Over the decades, it evolved into a down-to-earth residential spot that gives you a relaxed hometown feel while keeping you connected to Casper's economy and industrial roots.

For newcomers, Mills offers a mix of modest neighborhoods, riverside access, and a short commute to Casper’s shopping centers, medical facilities, and Casper College. Local students attend the Natrona County school system, and you are only minutes away from Fort Caspar and trails along the river. Winters bring the typical Wyoming wind and snow, but the trade-off is an affordable, convenient home base right on the edge of the city.
