Wyoming Celebrates the New DealWyoming and the State Historic Preservation Office celebrate the 75th anniversary of the New Deal. The New Deal was a series of social, economic, and governmental reforms initiated by the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in response to the Great Depression of the 1930s. At the time, the New Deal was met with huge amounts of criticism from some quarters and massive praise from others; in retrospect, the New Deal was a major event in American history. Legacies of New Deal programs can be seen in every state, and it is clear that the New Deal shaped the American landscape and American attitudes.
