Crook county, in Northeast Wyoming has a long history in the agriculture and timber industries and includes part of the Wyoming Black Hills and Devil's Tower (the first National Monument). Sundance, the county seat, is also where the famous outlaw the Sundance Kid was detained (guess where he got his name from).
