nerd buff, I like to think I know a fair bit about our state.
I knew that Glenrock was named after The Rock In The Glen but I had NO idea that it actually had several other names before Glenrock was officially chosen.
Which I m thankful for.because Mercedes, Wyoming just doesn t have the same ring to it. Nuttle, Wyoming IS a pretty fun name, but what would we have picked for our school mascot?
It was shortly after the railroad depot was built that the town of Glenrock, Wyoming was officially named.
