Bryan, Wyoming

Bryan is a ghost town in Sweetwater County in the U.S. state of Wyoming.

[1] Bryan is located approximately 12 miles (19 km) west of Green River along the Blacks Fork River, and for a short time was the local headquarters and division point of the Union Pacific Railroad.

[2] Stage service was established between Bryan and Green River and from there connecting to mines and towns throughout Wyoming.

Several years later, Blacks Fork dried up due to a drought and the railroad was concerned that there was not enough water in Bryan to service the locomotives.

The railroad was able to acquire enough land to move the headquarters to Green River and completely abandoned Bryan.
