It was briefly called Densmore's Mountain in the late 1880s and early 1890s after Frank Densmore, first European to reach its base. In 1896, W. A Dickey, a gold prospector named it McKinley after then-presidential candidate William McKinley, writing "that fact [McKinley's nomination] was the first news we received on our way out of that wonderful wilderness"; the United States formalized the name in 1917, but many Alaskans continued to refer to it as Denali, the Alaskan board on geographic names made Denali official for state use in 1975, and President Obama restored that name in August 2015.
