Sublette Centennial

The Sublette County Centennial Committee has been coordinating projects and events over the past two years to celebrate the county’s past 100 years of history. The final important date in the creation of our County is right around the corner. On Monday, January 2nd, 2023 the newly elected officials for Sublette County will be sworn in, exactly 100 years after the first ever officers were sworn in. The public is invited to attend the ceremony and join in the festivities.

The swearing-in will take place in the Courtroom on the 2nd floor of the Sublette County Courthouse at 10am. (An elevator is available.) Refreshments will be provided.
