Founded in 1896 by William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody and others, the town of Cody has grown considerably since the end of World War II yet retains its western way of life. Ranching, hunting, fishing, outdoor recreation opportunities, and the proximity to Yellowstone National Park continue to attract new residents and tourists alike. Historian Lynn Johnson Houze, author of Arcadia's Images of America: Cody, documents these changes using images from the collections of museums and archives within Wyoming and local private collections.
