Dayton, located in the Tongue River Valley, is considered the gateway to the Big Horn Mountains.

Dayton offers friendly hospitality and many local attractions, as well as historical sites to visit and numerous recreational opportunities. Dayton is home to Dayton Days, a community celebration which includes such activities as a Main Street parade, games in the park, American Indian dancers, a craft fair, softball games and street dances.

The Dayton Bell Tower, located at the park, was used as an observation point during World War II.

Dayton is also the first community in Wyoming to elect a woman mayor. Susan Wissler was elected in 1911 and was also the first woman in America to serve two consecutive terms as mayor. You can see a plaque honoring her on the building which was once her millinery shop on Main Street.
