The first people to live in the region were native Americans; and they were there for many years before Wyoming was named or given a defined area of land. I doubt anyone will ever know who the first person was to live in the region.
The first documented European explorer to chart the region was John Colter in 1807. The region became known as the territory of Wyoming.
By the time Wyoming was declared a state there were already many people living there.
