The Secretary of State of Wyoming made available for download their complete business entity database. We downloaded this data, and input it into a Database Management System (DBMS) called MySQL, therefore we are able to make some interesting queries (& discoveries).

The very first filling made in Wyoming was for: the “United Presbyterian Church” dans 1871 as a Nonprofit Corporation (Religious).
The second filling was 4 years later: for the “Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Cheyenne Lodge Number One” dans 1875 as a Nonprofit Corporation (Mutual Benefit).

From inception in April 1869 to the 3rd of June 2016: 3,874 domestications or continuances were recorded.
