The Jackson Hole Airport is the only commercial airport within a national park in the country. As such, flying into the airport is an awe-inspiring introduction to the valley and park. Establishing the airport took many years and numerous locations were considered prior to settling on today's location. The airport began commercial operation in 1946 prior to park expansion and is now the busiest airport in Wyoming. Name Origin Fur trappers called a mountain-ringed valley a "hole." Named Davey Jackson's Hole for fur trapper David E. Jackson who worked for the Rocky Mountain Fur Company. The name was later shortened to Jackson Hole.
