About Shoshoni
Shoshoni is a quiet crossroads town in central Wyoming, located right where U.S. 20 and U.S. 26 meet on the drive north toward Yellowstone. Originally founded as a railroad boomtown, the community sits just south of Boysen Reservoir and the entrance to Wind River Canyon. It is a scenic, rugged corner of Fremont County that attracts anglers, boaters, and anyone who appreciates wide-open spaces.
For anyone thinking of moving here, Shoshoni offers a calm, close-knit rural lifestyle. Local families are served by a single, modern K-12 campus that houses the elementary, junior high, and high schools together. Day-to-day living is simple and unhurried, with larger amenities and medical care readily available in nearby Riverton. If you love outdoor recreation and want a small-town setting where neighbors know each other, Shoshoni is a welcoming place to settle down.
