The town of Bar Nunn was originally the site of Wardwell Field, which served as Natrona County's regional airport until 1952. That year, the newly formed United States Air Force abandoned the Casper Army Airfield located a few miles to the west. Local government assumed control of that airport and relocated regional aircraft operations creating the Casper-Natrona County International Airport.
Romie Nunn, a local rancher and successful businessman, had moved to Casper in 1918 with his family. Mr. Nunn would registered the Bar Nunn brand (-N) with the Wyoming State Livestock Board. His family still owned a portion of the Wardwell Field property. Mr. Nunn repurchased the remaining airport property (consisting of 640 acres) in 1954 for $20,500. Mr. Nunn hoped to make the location "The horse center of the Rockies”. Mr. Nunn ultimately subdivided the area in 1958, naming it the Bar Nunn Ranch Subdivision.
In the late 70's the homeowners association of Bar Nunn Ranch Subdivision experienced deficiencies in services related to snow removal and street repairs. The members voted to incorporate as a municipality thus Bar Nunn became a town in 1982. The formation of the town improved service availability and provided for funding avenues. Although no longer a functional airport, the former runways now function as a framework for the town's street pattern. The circular logo of the municipality features the original runways layout of Wardwell Field.
