Absaroka (proposed state)
Absaroka, named after the Absaroka Range, was an area in the United States, comprising parts of the states of Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming, that contemplated secession and statehood in 1939. The region's complaints came from ranchers and independent farmers in remote parts of the three states, who resented the New Deal and Democratic control of state governments, especially the government of Wyoming.〔Johnson, Kirk. ("A State That Never Was in Wyoming" ). New York Times. July 24, 2008.〕 One of the leaders of the secessionist movement was A. R. Swickard, the street commissioner of Sheridan, Wyoming, who appointed himself "governor" and started hearing grievances in the "capital" of Sheridan.〔Florence, Mason, Marisa Gierlich, and Andrew Dean Nystrom. 2001. Lonely Planet Rocky Mountains: Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. (p413 ).〕
In a craze for state secession felt by the public, state automobile license plates bearing the name were distributed, as well as pictures of "Miss Absaroka 1939".〔License plate for “State of Absaroka.” Inventory of the H.H. Horton papers, 1897–1960. (Series III, Box 4: Artifacts, circa 1917–circa 1939 ). University of Wyoming. American Heritage Center.〕
The movement was unsuccessful and fairly short-lived. The chief record of its existence comes from the Federal Writers' Project, which included a story about the plan as an example of Western eccentricity.〔Writers' Program of the Work Projects Administration in the State of Wyoming. (''Wyoming: A Guide to Its History, Highways, and People'' ). Oxford University Press. 1941.〕
