History

Founded in 1891 as a strategic stop along the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, Gillette, Wyoming began as a small prairie settlement and quickly grew into a hub of activity and opportunity. Named after railroad surveyor Edward Gillette, the town was incorporated in 1892 and steadily evolved through ranching, railroad expansion, and later, the discovery of immense coal reserves in the Powder River Basin.

By the late 20th century, Gillette had earned its title as the Energy Capital of the Nation, producing more coal than any other region in the United States. This boom spurred rapid population growth, infrastructure development, and the emergence of Gillette as one of Wyoming’s most dynamic communities.

Today, Gillette is more than an energy town—it’s a thriving city known for its strong schools, expanding neighborhoods, and forward-thinking community investment. Legacy Pointe sits at the center of that momentum, offering a rare opportunity to build within a city shaped by history and poised for future growth.
