Letter to J. S. Casement from prominent men of Cheyenne, Dakota Territory, November 13, 1867
UP platted the townsite of “Crow Creek Crossing” on July 5, 1867, which became the town of Cheyenne, Dakota Territory, on August 8. The tracks reached the new town on November 13, 1867, with the first train arriving the following day. Cheyenne grew so quickly it was dubbed the “Magic City of the Plains.” Excited Cheyenne citizens held a celebration with Jack Casement as their honored guest.
