Evansville
The town of Evansville (population 2,255; Census 2000) sits directly northeast of the city of Casper, enjoying the benefits of both small-town living at home and access to big city amenities. A May 15, 1923 election incorporated the town.
In present day Evansville, John Richard (Reshaw) constructed a wooden toll bridge. The bridge was used from 1852-1865 to provide additional access to emigrants and other travelers. Two temporary military camps, Camp Clay and Camp Payne, occupied the site at Reshaw's bridge. The camps were abandoned in November 1856. You can encounter the abundant wildlife of the area on the Town's walking path at this historical site.
Evansville has a full-time Police Department, and Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Service.
