History
Teton Valley owes its abundant animal life and vegetation to three cycles of prehistoric volcanic activity. Originally populated by the Shoshone tribe, the purchase of the Louisiana Territory in 1803 and Lewis and Clark’s expedition in 1805 brought explorers, trappers and traders to the western United States. Early settlers were fur trappers, and the area even played host to the annual Rocky Mountain Fur Rendezvous. It wasn’t until mass migrations resulting from the California Gold Rush and the Homestead Act in the late 1800s that permanent agricultural settlements developed.
