Little America, Wyoming

Little America is a census-designated place (CDP) in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, United States.

The community got its name from the Little America motel, which was purposefully located in a remote location as a haven, not unlike the Little America base camp the polar explorer Richard E. Byrd set up in the Antarctic in 1928.

Its developer, Robert Earl Holding, died on April 19, 2013, with a personal net worth of over $3 billion.

In spite of Little America's 100% employment rate, 29.7% of the population is below the poverty line, and 100% of the households responding to the census were tenants of absentee landlords.
