The depot was built by the Chicago and North Western Railway from 1906 to 1907 along a new line through central Wyoming built by the railway in 1906. The city of Riverton formed only two weeks before the railroad reached it when land in the area opened to new residents under the Homestead Act. The railroad spurred economic development in the region by exporting agricultural products and oil and creating demand for the local coal and lumber industries. When the railroad industry declined after World War II, the Chicago and North Western gradually decreased its service west of Casper, and by 1974 it was prepared to demolish the Riverton station as well. A group of Riverton residents instead bought and restored the depot, which now houses businesses. The depot is the last surviving Chicago and North Western station west of Casper.[2] The depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1978.[1] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 2. ^{{cite web|last=Junge|first=Mark|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form: Riverton Railroad Depot|url={{NRHP url|id=78002827}}|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=June 3, 2013|date=May 10, 1977}} External links
