Swastika Lake of Laramie is renamed after a vote by the Albany County Commissioners. The lake will now bear the surname of Wyoming geologist Dr. Samuel H. Knight.
The new name, Knight Lake, will be sent to the Wyoming Board of Geographical Names for approval before making its way to the United States Board on Geographical Names.
Professor Samuel Knight founded the UW Science Camp in 1925. It provided generations of students from universities across the U.S. the chance to study Wyoming’s unique geology in the field.
