Incorporated in 1901, Cody is located 52 miles from Yellowstone National Park's East Entrance.
Cody was founded by Colonel William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody, who passed through the region in the 1870s. He was so impressed by the development possibilities of irrigation, rich soil, grand scenery, hunting and the proximity to Yellowstone Park, that he returned in the mid-1890s to start a town. He brought with him men whose names are still on the street signs in Cody's downtown area: Beck, Alger, Rumsey, Bleistein and Salisbury.
