Rozet is a small, unincorporated community located in Campbell County, Wyoming, in the United States. An "unincorporated community" means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's governed by the county. Rozet was founded in the 1890s, and its name likely came from the many wild roses that grew in the area.

Trains and History
Rozet has a connection to the world of trains. Until 2020, a large train company called BNSF (which stands for Burlington Northern Santa Fe) had a maintenance shop near Rozet, at a place called Donkey Creek. This shop was used to keep trains in good working order. For a while, many hundreds of extra train engines, called locomotives, were parked in Rozet. They were stored there when they weren't needed for active use.
