Fun Fact: William Frederick Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill Cody, founded "Buffalo Bill’s Wild West" in 1883 in the area of North Platte, Nebraska. The circus-like attraction toured annually. Buffalo Bill and his performers would reenact the riding of the Pony Express, Indian attacks on wagon trains, and stagecoach robberies. The show typically ended with a melodramatic reenactment of Custer’s Last Stand in which Cody himself portrayed General Custer. In 1895, Cody was instrumental in the founding of Cody, the seat of Park County in northwestern Wyoming. Cody opened the Irma Hotel in downtown Cody in November 1902, a hotel named after his daughter that is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
