Cheyenne

Cheyenne had a population of about 600 people before the Union Pacific Railroad buiilt a track through the town. Afterwards the population sprang up to around 4,000 people because they thought that the railroad would bring them prosperity. Because of this rapid growth Cheyenne was dubbed the Magic City of the Plains.
