The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The Bridger Post Office was officially established on October 29, 1898, with Jno. M. Babcock as the town's first postmaster.

In December 2014, construction began on a large wind farm, Mud Springs Wind Ranch, with 120 wind turbines, at a site 12 miles southeast of Bridger. The project was renamed Pryor Mountain Wind Project and was completed in late 2020.
