About Glenrock, WY

Glenrock is a vibrant, growing, and caring community.

Welcome to Glenrock, WY,  located  in Central Wyoming, at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, nestled along the confluence of the North Platte River and the Deer Creek Tributary Systems. 

Glenrock, oringnally known as Deer Creek Station, had it’s beginnings as a mail and stage station long the Oregon and Pony Express Trails.

The station served as a relay and eating place  and was a vital supply point for thousands of emigrants as they traveled westward.  Deer Creek flow into the North Platte River just to the north of town.

Located in Converse county, Glenrock is a friendly and welcoming hometown community. We have several amenities of a metro area and what we don’t have is within short 20 minute drives to Casper, Natrona County (the 2nd largest metropolitan area in the state of Wyoming) or Douglas, along I-25. Both Converse and Natrona Counties have diverse outdoor recreation opportunities and a host of indoor recreation opportunities. From hunting & fishing, golf, theater, fantastic shopping and wonderful dining, Glenrock is in the center of it all!
