The first evidence of inhabitants of Wyoming show they probably arrived about 11,500 B.C. through the Bering Straight, possibly part of the Clovis culture.

Then the Shoshone, Arapaho, Cheyenne and Crow lived in the eastern portion of the area with the Ute in the western portion.

Then came the fur traders and trappers, mostly French or French Canadian, followed by the westward-bound pioneers.

Once the railroad reached Wyoming, cattle ranchers and sheep herders began to settle in the state.

What is the name of the first person to live in Wyoming?

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.
