The Jackson Hole Airport, located at the base of the
spectacular Teton Mountains, was established by the town
of Jackson at its present
location in the 1930's. At first, an unpaved landing strip
was developed. But by the end of 1939, the site was selected
and leased from the Bureau of Land Management, State of
Wyoming, Jackson Hole Preserve, and Snake River Land Company.
