Casper is a great place to live and raise a family
The Center is located in Casper,Wyoming, a community of over 50,000 in population.
Casper is perhaps best known as the hub of the energy
business in Wyoming.
Historically it was founded because of it's location in the valley of the North Platte River and was an important avenue to those coming
west to settle.
All of the major trails passed through Casper and pioneers headed west and northwest from Casper.

Casper was named after Lt. Caspar Collins, a soldier killed by Indians while attempting to rescue pioneers under attack just
west of the fort that now bears his name.
Ranching and agriculture were the mainstays of the early pioneers, but after the discovery of oil north of Casper in the area around
Midwest, Wyoming, that quickly changed. Since the discovery of oil and natural gas, Casper has been at the center of energy
development in Wyoming.
In 2006 Casper was honored by Forbes Magazine as one of the nation's Top 25 Best Small Places for
Business, including first place distinction for our low cost of doing business.
We are a growing community of 50,000 people, and we were named an All-America City Finalist in
2002 for our outstanding quality of life. Our historic downtown has a vibrant entertainment
district of stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and theaters.
