Life in West
At the West gate of Yellowstone National Park, we are a small mountain community that has been hosting visitors since the early 1900's. Tourism is the economic mainstay of our town.
The Town of West Yellowstone incorporated in 1966 and adopted a self-governing charter in November of 1980. Currently the community operates with a strong-council form of government and a Town Operations Manager is responsible for the day-to-day operations.
