Teton Pines history

In 1929 President Calvin Coolidge signed Grand Teton National Park into law at half its size of today.

In 1930 the “Snake River Land Company”was done buying land, yelled gotcha, and thus revealed its true intentions of adding this newly acquired land to Grand Teton National Park.

In 1943 FDR issued an order to turn this land into Jackson Hole National Monument. It wouldn’t be until 1942 after Rockefeller, fed up and frustrated that his altruistic plan had yet to be enacted threatened to sell his acquired Jackson land.

Congress enacted a bill to abolish this new monument and the state of Wyoming promptly filed suit against Jackson National Monument as well, claiming there was no just reason for this land to be a national monument. It wouldn’t be until 1950 when President Truman incorporated Rockfeller’s land holdings into what is now known as Grand Teton National Park today.
