The Missionary District of Idaho and Wyoming was created by the General Convention of October 1886. The Episcopal Church Diocese of Wyoming was established in 1896 by the Episcopal Missionary Board. By 2010, there were over 7,000 Episcopalians in Wyoming.
Bishops of the Diocese of Wyoming were: Ethelbert Talbot (1887-1896); Nathaniel S. Thomas (1909-1927); Elmer N. Schmuck (1929-1936); Winfred H. Ziegler (1936-1949); James W.
