Origin Notes and History of City of Teton
References to City of Teton that document the origin of its place name
TRIOS TETON.—These are French-Canadian words meaning "three women's breasts," and were applied by the Hudson Bay trappers of Donald Mackenzie's Snake country expedition in 1819. The Shoshonis called them "Tee-win-at," meaning the '''pinnacles." The people of the Hunt-Astoria party (q.v.) were the first white persons to discover them, and as the peaks can be seen for more than a hundred miles and were used as guiding objects by this party, they called them the "Pilot Knobs." They are the most noted peaks in the Rocky Mountains, the highest, Grand Teton, can be seen a great distance and has long served as a landmark for trappers and pioneers. The Teton range is but sixty miles long and lies twenty-five miles southwest of the Yellowstone National Park. It is crossed by Teton pass about twenty miles south of Grand Teton, which was the principal thorofare across the Rocky Mountains in very early days.—ROSS, Oregon Settlers.
