Farthing also known as Iron Mountain was a railroad station and post office in the U.S. state of Wyoming . Farthing is located southwest of Chugwater, Wyoming Chugwater in the Chugwater Creek valley.

The railroad was extended north from Cheyenne in anticipation of heavy mining development which never occurred. Homesteading in the area began in the 1870s, and numerous ranches were established along the various spring creeks that flowed into Chugwater Creek. Among the homesteaders in the 1880s were William E.

Both men were suspected of rustling cattle from the larger ranchers. In July 1895 Bill Lewis was found dead with three shots in his chest at his ranch, and Fred Powell was shot dead a month later. Notorious range detective Tom Horn , who often spent time in the upper Chugwater valley as a bronc buster , was suspected for both murders but never indicted. In 1905, 14 year old Willie Nickell, son of the only sheepherder in the Iron Mountain region, was shot and killed while riding his father s horse in search for a herd of sheep that went missing nearby.
