This Day in History...

Yellowstone, the nation's first national park was establish on March 1, 1872. Native Americans had lived and hunted in this region for hundreds of years before the first Anglo explorers arrived. Abundant game and mountain streams teaming with fish attracted the Indians to the region, though the awe-inspiring geysers, canyons, and gurgling mud pots also fascinated them. Yellowstone National Park is a favorite to millions of visitors each year.
