Grand Teton National Park was first established in 1929 toprotectthe high peak of the Grand Teton Mountains and its glacial lake . In the thirties and 1940s , PresidentFranklin D. Rooseveltdesignated the Jackson Hole National Monument adjacent to the commons , and oil scion John D. Rockefeller donated land that he possess to the park service . The current boundaries of Grand Teton National Park werefinalized in 1950 , when the national monument and Rockefeller ’s property wereabsorbedinto the existing national park .
People havelived on the landsnow encompassed by the park since the ice sheet retreated at the end of the lastice years , about 10,000 years ago . In the 19th C , white-hot pelt trappers , Orion , explorers , and “ mountain men ” traveled through the region , and white settlers began to build homesteads there following the 1862 Homestead Act . Today , more than 3 millionpeople chaffer Grand Teton National Park every twelvemonth .
