| The crude demographics of
Wyoming's human population. We are using 2010 census data, so
our apologies in advance if Jackson and Cody, the county seats
of Teton and Park, respectively, have grown past the
arbitrary 10,000 inhabitants limit. I do not recall that
author Craig Johnson has ever mentioned the population of
Durant in Absaroka County. Outside the books and videos Durant
only exists a few days per year courtesy of an amzing
transformation by the town of Buffalo. The other 360 days of
the year the real town of Buffalo (population 4,585 when not
hosting the annual Longmire days) is the county seat of
Johnson County (population 8,569). Johnson County probably has
many admirers, but its political history has been the stuff of
nightmares for late 19th century and early 20th century
statisticians. It was formed as Pease County in 1875 from
parts of four other counties. It was renamed Johnson
County in 1879. It was divided to form Sheridan County in
1888, and divided again to form Big Horn County in 1890. In
its varying configurations Johnson County has only voted for a
Democratic presidential candidate three times: for William
Jennings Bryan (1892), for Woodrow Wilson (1912 - by two
votes) and for Franklin Roosevelt (1932 - by 70 votes. FDR won
57% of the vote and carried 42 states, losing Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Delaware and Pennsylvania to
Herbert Hoover. 472 electoral votes to 59). Roosevelt won
Wyoming (but not Johnson County) in 1936 and 1940 but not in
1944. (*) = Note that Quealy has not responded to a US Census in some years. It was selected in lieu of Purple Sage (population 535) for sentimental reasons (my mother's maiden name) and because it was in Sweetwater County midway between Rock Springs (population 23,036) and Green River (county seat; population 12,515). |
