Frannie, Wyoming has a population of 157 and an elevation of 4219 feet. It is interesting to note that Frannie is in both Big Horn and Park Counties. Their welcome sign: Biggest Little Town in Wyoming" welcomes visitors and passersby to this unique distinction.

"Locals say this designation is because "it took two counties to hold our town!".

In 1894, Frannie's post office opened. Postmaster Morris, the town's first postmaster, had a daughter named Frannie, and the town was named after her. Frannie is featured on their welcome sign.

The town is located two miles south of the Montana border and is the northernmost town in Wyoming's Big Horn Basin: a mountain desert region which relies on a network of canals and pipelines to provide irrigation and potable water for this farming and ranching community.
