Jackson is in western Wyoming, close to the south end of Grand Teton National Park. Many famous people, including Vice President Dick Cheney, maintain vacation homes in and around this area. The combined elements of beautiful mountain scenery, Old West heritage and celebrity residents give this small town an atmosphere both cosmopolitan and frontier.

The terms "Jackson" and "Jackson Hole" are sometimes used interchangeably. The term "hole" was used by explorers to describe a type of valley. Strictly speaking, "Jackson" is the name of the town, while "Jackson Hole" refers to the whole valley area.
