Teton County was organized in 1921
from Lincoln County with Jackson Hole being the
county seat. Before Lincoln County was formed both Teton
and Lincoln were part of Uinta County. Teton
County, Wyoming is one of the few counties in the United
States to border its namesake in another state—in this
case, Teton County, Idaho. Named for the Teton
Mountains. Indians called them Tee-win-ot, three
pinnacles. French trappers applied the name "Les Trois
Tetons".
Towns are that of Jackson,
with other census places being those of Alta, Hoback,
Moose Wilson Road, Rafter J. Ranch, South Park, Teton
Village, and Wilson. Other places are Kelly,
Moran, and Colter Bay.
