Sulphur Springs Station Site was a resting spot for early American pioneers in wagon trains heading west on the Overland Trail. The site was in Carbon County, Wyoming, southwest of the present city of Rawlins, Wyoming. Sulphur Springs Stage Station and the pioneers selected the site because it has fair water year-round from the Muddy Creek. The site was also used as a route for the Overland Stage and Mail from 1862 to 1869, which ran from Denver to Salt Lake. Travelers to Sulphur Springs Stage Station arrived from Pine Grove Station. From Sulphur Springs Stage Station, the Overland Trail travels west to the next stop, the Bridger Pass. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} With the opening of the Union Pacific Railroad's first transcontinental railroad in 1868, ^[5] the wagon trains started to end. ^{[6] [7] [8] [9]}
