History A trapper named John Colter found a wonderland of geysers and hot springs in far out west in present-day Yellowstone, in the early 1800s. Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872 because it had natives and geysers that the government didn’t want disturbed by our filthy industrial revolution. Soon after in 1883, railroads were added for easier transportation. Since the park was almost unvisited in the first around 16 years, it was run by the US Army. Then, in 1915, automobiles were allowed in the park for economical purposes. One year later, in 1916, the National Park Service was created. In 2016, it will be the 100 th anniversary of the service.
