Origin of Name:

Named for Lenore Judkins who was daughter of the first postmaster W.T. Judkins. The post office was established in 1906 when the lands on the Wind River Indian Reservation north of Big Wind River where thrown open for settlement. It is located two miles north of Crowheart Butte on the north side of Big Wind and is on the Judkins ranch. Lenore was once a bustling community prior to 1920. But with the construction of the Diversion Dam across Wind River a new highway was rerouted along the opposite side of the river from Lenore.
