History of the Park

The park was originally established in 1872. From 1907-1911 the park took up the task of putting in dams to regulate water flow. In 1929 President Calvin Coolidge signed an executive order to expand the boundaries to include the Teton Mountain Range, which made it 96,000 acres!
