nerd buff, I like to think I know a fair bit about our state. I knew that Glenrock was named after "The Rock In The Glen" but I had NO idea that it actually had several other names before Glenrock was officially chosen. Which I'm thankful for...because "Mercedes, Wyoming" just doesn't have the same ring to it. "Nuttle, Wyoming" IS a pretty fun name, but what would we have picked for our school mascot? It was shortly after the railroad depot was built that the town of Glenrock, Wyoming was officially named. You can learn more by watching this quick video created by Wyoming PBS.
