What Were the Grand Tetons Named For?
“Grand Teton,” which is the name given to the tallest peak in the Teton Range, has its moniker rooted in historical controversy. It is believed to have been named either by the French upon noticing its likeness to the female anatomy or in honor of the Teton Sioux Native Americans who inhabited the region. Grand Teton towers above Northwest Wyoming and, regardless the naming dispute, its astounding beauty and limitless recreational opportunities go unquestioned.
