| Native Americans used the wood from ash trees that grew along the creek here for arrows and spears, or "lances", as the early European explorers called them. Thus the name. The town of the same name grew up around the oil industry. This is also one of the first places dinosaur bones were unearthed in Wyoming, in the 1880s, although there is nothing to commemorate the finds at present. |
