The Shoshone and Crow people lived in the area before European settlers came. John Colter, a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, was likely the first to travel through the land that would become Cody. The 1851 Fort Laramie Treaty set this area in Crow territory. The 1868 Treaty placed the Crow Reservation to the north and Wind River Reservation to the South.
Cody is named after Buffalo Bill Cody for his part in the founding of Cody in 1896. His Shoshone Irrigation Company, through George T. Beck, laid out the town. He was personally involved in developing the town doing things like making sure the streets were wide and recommending liquor license fees were high enough to keep away rough trade. He owned the livery stable, blacksmith shop, and newspaper. He also had several nearby ranches, a company to mine coal and to drill oil wells.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad completed its spur line to Cody in 1901. Cody was incorporated that same year.
Named for his daughter, Cody built the Irma Hotel in 1902. Still open as a hotel and restaurant, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. He wanted a fine hotel to appeal to tourists traveling to Yellowstone National Park. He and Beck marked the route for a wagon road to the park. Tourism continues to have a major economic impact.
When Park County was separated from Big Horn County in 1909, Cody became the county seat. In 1911 voters elected three county commissioners. In 1963 a group in Powell, Wyoming, attempted to create a new county out of Park County as they felt Cody was overrepresented. It was not successful.
In 1983 a new courthouse was built. Originally the county intended to demolish the old courthouse but heeded community protests to keep the structure.
In 2024 the Caleco Foundry burned down. It was one of only two foundries in Wyoming. Multiple artists had molds at the foundry and all were destroyed. One artist estimated his loss at five million dollars. In 2025 the nearby town of Meeteetse began plans to build a new foundry.
