The City of Gillette, Wyoming is a fairly large community within the state and is the home of approximately 30,000 residents. The city is located in northeast Wyoming, near Devil's Tower and is nicknamed, "the Energy Capitol of the United States" because of the many coal mines, and the bustling local energy industry. Gillette is a young community with a growing pathways system, an ingrained love for the outdoors and has a deep rooted respect for wildlife.
