Chittenden Memorial Bridge
(in the Canyon area, crossing near the Upper Falls)Named in 1962 by the National Park Service. Named for Hiram Martin Chittenden, writer of the first history of the park, engineer with the Army Corps of Engineers responsible for building many of the roads in Yellowstone, and responsible for many projects throughout the country. Chittenden had built the original bridge where the memorial bridge now stands, an arched bridge.(a link to a short biography on Chittenden will be made available as ready.)
Fishing Bridge
(on the north end of Yellowstone Lake, where the Yellowstone River flows out of it)Named in 1914 by unnamed source. Named for a bridge over the Yellowstone River, famous for fishing).
Grant Village
(on the West Thumb of Thumb Bay, two miles south of West Thumb Geyser Basin)Named in 1955 by the National Park Service before the construction of the area as part of its "Mission 66" plans for improving the park. Named for President Ulysses S. Grant, president when Yellowstone became a national park. Construction on Grant Village began in 1961 and was supposed to be completed in 1966, but it wasn't really finished until the 1980s. I believe it was 1984 when Hamilton Stores opened its store in Grant Village.
Roosevelt Arch
