Lost Cabin, Wyoming

Lost Cabin is an unincorporated community in Fremont County, Wyoming.[1]

History

A post office called Lost Cabin was established in 1886, and remained in operation until 1966.[2] The community received its name from a pioneer incident in which a party of prospectors escaped from Indians, only to find later their cabins had disappeared from the site.[3]
