Ucross has a population of 26. It is part of the so-called UCLA of Wyoming — Ucross, Clearmont, Leiter and Arvada.[3]
The community received its name from the Pratt and Ferris Cattle Company, whose logo had a U with a cross beneath it.
In 1981, the Ucross Foundation was created, and in 1983, the nonprofit began welcoming its first artists in residence. An artist residency on a 20,000-acre ranch, Ucross Foundation has a residency program that has hosted more than 2,600 artists, writers, composers, and choreographers.[4] The Ucross Art Gallery is housed in the original Pratt and Ferris headquarters, the Big Red Barn. The renovated space offers a world-class gallery and attached dance studio and performance space.
