Jackson Hole: Fertile Valley Grows Settlements and Industry
An 1900s survey details Jackson Hole in Lincoln County Wyoming as a booming settlement zone. It notes rising farming yields from dry farming and hay, expanding cattle ranching, dairying potential with a planned creamery, hog farming, and ample water. Transportation improvements include a Victor Idaho rail line, a Snake River bridge project, and an upcoming Teton road, with schools and mills supporting growth near Jackson and Kelly.
