Yellowstone's Bicentennial: Coming in 2072

Yellowstone National Park has not yet celebrated its bicentennial. Established on March 1, 1872 as the world's first national park, its 200th anniversary will occur in 2072.

Key Milestones

  • 1872: Signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant.
  • 1972: Centennial celebration.
  • 2016: National Park Service Centennial (Yellowstone's 144th).
  • 2072: Bicentennial (200th anniversary).

The park will likely host major commemorative events, ecological assessments, and public celebrations leading up to 2072, reflecting on two centuries of conservation history and the evolving challenges of preserving America's first national park.
