∙ 11y agoBill Challis is responsible for naming Mount Rushmore. However, it was named in honor of New York lawyer Charles E. Rushmore in 1885, long before its destiny to be the backdrop for a great mountain carving was known. Bill Challis was a local guide escorting Rushmore, who was visiting the Black Hills to check land claims. As the story goes, Rushmore asked Challis the name of a mountain as they passed, and Challis responded that it did not have a name, but from then on it would be called Rushmore. Before it was named Mount Rushmore, it was known to the Lakota Sioux Native Americans as Six Grandfathers.
