The name Devil's Tower originated in 1875 during an expedition led by Col. Richard Irving Dodge when his interpreter misinterpreted the name to mean Bad God's Tower. This was later shortened to the Devil's Tower.

Devils Tower is famous because it was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt.
