Yellowstone National Park

Among the Montana National Parks there’s one which has the unique distinction of being America’s oldest national park.

Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872 as the first national park in the world.

The area that is now Yellowstone National Park has a long history of human use and habitation. Native American tribes, including the Crow, Blackfoot, and Shoshone, have lived in the region for thousands of years.

European explorers and fur trappers began to arrive in the area in the early 1800s, and by the mid-19th century, the region had become a popular destination for hunting, fishing, and sightseeing.
