Wild Horse is an unincorporated community in Cheyenne County, Colorado, United States.
[1] The community takes its name from Wild Horse Creek,[3] and began in 1869 as a cavalry outpost, which soon became a railway station and had expanded to a town by the mid-1870s.
After a peak of population and business activities in the early 1900s, the town began dwindling by 1917, when most of it burned down in a great fire.
The town rebuilt, but never at the population or business-service centralization level of its earlier years, and by the 1930s, had begun to dwindle further.
[2] There is also a one-room school house, no longer in use, and a cluster of older small homes.
