Official State Nickname of Wyoming
The nickname for Wyoming is The Equality State (Wyoming's state motto also focuses on equality; Equal Rights). All State Nicknames
Wyoming was the first state to grant women the right to vote in 1869 (more precisely, women were granted the right to vote so there would be enough voting citizens to meet the population requirement for statehood). This action lead to the nickname The Suffrage State and then later The Equality State.
The Cowboy State
A cowboy on a bucking horse is Wyoming's official registered trademark), which led to some calling Wyoming The Cowboy State (the cowboy and bucking bronco emblem also appears on the U.S. Mint's bicentennial commemorative quarter for Wyoming).
