==About LaGrange==
LaGrange, Wyoming originated along the Texas cattle trail, offering [[settler]]s a place to gather. The town is named after Mr. Kale LaGrange, who settled in the area.

LaGrange serves as a meeting place for people living along both Horse Creek and Bear Creek. The annual LaGrange Mini-Fair, a big draw for the community, consists of family-oriented events such as a free will donation breakfast, parades, a [[rodeo]] for children, and an evening show with [[country & western]] entertainment.

The town has two churches, LaGrange Holiness Chapel and the [[non-denominational]] LaGrange Bible Church, and is home to the [[Frontier School of the Bible]], a three-year [[college]] serving approximately 225 students annually.

LaGrange has a [[volunteer fire department]] and rescue unit. There are also [[American Legion]] and [[American Legion Auxiliary]] units active in civic duties, as well as a Home-makers Extension Club and [[4-H|4H clubs]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Johnson |first=Elizabeth Wilkinson |title=Trails, Rails and Travails |publisher=Frontier Printing |year=1988}}</ref>
