Jackson Hole

Jackson Hole is the valley floor between the Teton Mountain Range and the Snake River, located along the border of Wyoming and Idaho. The name "hole" was used by early trappers or mountain men, who primarily entered the valley from the north and east and had to descend along relatively steep slopes, giving the sensation of entering a hole. These low-lying valleys are surrounded by mountains and contain rivers and streams, which were good habitat for beaver and other fur-bearing animals.
==History==
The town of "Jackson" was named by Margaret Simpson in late 1893, who at the time was receiving mail at her home as there was no post office. She named the town in order for easterners to be able to forward mail west. The town became incorporated in 1914. The town was named after David Edward "Davey" Jackson who trapped beaver in the area in the late 1820s while he was a partner in the firm of Smith, Jackson & Sublette.〔originally published in 〕 Davy Jackson was the first white man to spend an entire winter in the Valley of the Teton Mountains. Though used by Native Americans for hunting and ceremonial purposes, the valley was not known to harbor year-round human settlement prior to the 1870s. Descriptions of the valley and its features were recorded in the journals of John Colter, who had been a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. After returning to the Rocky Mountains, Colter entered the region in 1807 in the vicinity of Togwotee Pass and became the first white American to see the valley. His reports of the valley, the Teton Range and the Yellowstone region to the north were viewed by people of the day with skepticism.
The first people to settle the region were Native Americans, then fur trappers, and then homesteaders. Because the soil is not ideal for raising crops, the valley was used for cattle. Tourism quickly became popular with the establishment of dude ranches.
