Gebo is a ghost town located in Hot Springs County in the U.S. state of Wyoming. It is located approximately 11 miles (18 km) north of Thermopolis. The town was established as a coal town in 1907 alongside the nearby camps of Crosby and Kirby. It was named after Samuel Wilford Gebo who established the Owl Creek Coal Company and the first mine in the area after immigrating to America from Canada. Mining remained active until 1938. At its height, over 2,000 people lived in the area, mostly miners and their families, making Gebo briefly the largest town in the county.

| - Gebo är en övergiven ort i Hot Springs County i centrala delen av den amerikanska delstaten Wyoming, belägen omkring 18 kilometer norr om countyts huvudort Thermopolis. Orten grundades som en kolgruvstad 1907, samtidigt som grannorterna och Kirby. Den uppkallades efter kanadensaren , grundare av Owl Creek Coal Company, som öppnade ortens första gruva. Under en period bodde upp till 20 000 personer i gruvdistriktet omkring Gebo, så att Gebo vid denna tid var den största orten i countyt. Efter att den sista gruvan stängdes 1938 avfolkades orten snabbt och 1971 revs stora delar av staden, även om vissa byggnader och ortens kyrkogård fortfarande finns kvar på platsen. (sv)
