Sesame Gulch is a Western town and the primary location of the various Old West sketches on Sesame Street. Although not named on the show itself, Sesame Gulch is specified as the setting in the books Tales of Sesame Gulch (1977) and particularly in The Sesame Street Dictionary (1980), which showcases the town extensively. The signpost lists the town population as 8. Documented residents include Rodeo Rosie, Marshal Grover and Fred the Wonder Horse, Bad Bart, The Great Cookie Thief, and an assortment of Anything Muppet cowpokes (who earn their living by poking cows).
