History

Although the word is generally spelled 'Shoshone', it is pronounced phonetically as 'Shoshoni'.

Established as a railroad and mining town, Shoshoni lies at the intersection of US Routes US Route 20 and US Route 26 which together were formerly known as the "Yellowstone Highway." Shoshoni has a dramatic increase in visitors in the summer, when roads to Yellowstone National Park are open. Visitors also stop to camp and fish at nearby Boysen Reservoir and the surrounding Boysen State Park. More recently the plant has ensured all migrant workers are legal. This labor practice stopped when a United States Department of Homeland Security of Homeland Security investigation revealed that some of the workers had problems with their immigration histories. The plant installed a stack and ventilating system in early 2006 to control and disperse odor from the composting bunkers.
