History
editIn 1867 the Union Pacific Railroad established a tent hospital to treat workers injured during construction of the transcontinental railroad.[3][4] Within a year, the City of Cheyenne purchased the tent hospital from the railroad for $125.00.[4]
In 1882[3] or 1883[4] a new building was built at a cost of $21,000[4] at the corner of 23rd Street and Evans Avenue[3][4] on land donated by the railroad[4] to house the hospital, which at that time was named St. John's Hospital of Laramie County.[3] The hospital would go through several name changes, including the Laramie County Memorial Hospital,[3] Cheyenne Medical Center,[3] and the current name, Cheyenne Regional Medical Center.[4]
