"Wyoming State Coffee Gift Mug:
Wyoming, state in the western United States. It
is bordered by Montana on the north, South Dakota and Nebraska on
the east, Colorado and Utah on the south, and Utah, Idaho and
Montana on the west. The land within these borders was first called
Wyoming in 1865, when a member of the Congress of the United States
from Ohio suggested that a new territory be carved from Dakota,
Utah, and Idaho territories. Wyoming is known as the Cowboy State
and the Equality State. The latter recognizes Wyoming as the first
to specifically give women the right to vote, which it did as a
territory in 1869 and retained upon entering the Union. Cheyenne is
Wyoming’s capital and largest city.
