Posted rules like these show how Yellowstone was managed in its early decades, when the park was new and visitors were still learning how to behave in a wild setting. Congress set the land aside in 1872 as the first national park, but for many years it had few staff, and the U.S. Army took over administration from 1886 to 1918. The rules typically targeted behavior that harmed the park's features, such as removing or damaging geyser formations, carving names into trees, hunting, and feeding or approaching bears. Reading them today reveals both the park's early priorities and the conservation ideas that would later shape the modern National Park Service.
