The park was established as Mt. McKinley National Park on Feb. 26, 1917. The original park was designated a wilderness area, the first national park created specifically to protect wildlife, and incorporated into Denali National Park and Preserve in 1980. The park was designated an international biosphere reserve in 1976. - in: https://www.nationalparks.org

 Mt. Denali, formerly Mt. McKinley, is North America's highest mountain, and is contained within Denali National Park.

Before a gold prospector named the mountain "Mount McKinley" in support of then-presidential candidate William McKinley in 1896, the Koyukon people, who inhabit the area around the mountain, had called it "Deenali" for centuries. However, "Mount McKinley" was the official name recognized by the United States government from 1917 until 2015.

In August 2015, at the insistence of the Alaskan government, the US Department of the Interior announced the change of the official name to Denali. Before that, most Alaskans already referred to the mountain as Denali.
