Denali–Mount McKinley naming dispute
Alaska anmodede i 1975 om at få bjerget officielt anerkendt som Denali, da det stadig var det almindelige navn, der blev brugt i staten. Forsøg fra Alaskas delstatsregering på at få Mount McKinleys navn ændret af den føderale regering blev blokeret af medlemmer af kongresdelegationen fra Ohio, som er hjemstat for bjergets præsidentielle navnebror. I august 2015 meddelte indenrigsminister Sally Jewell, at navnet officielt ville blive ændret i alle føderale dokumenter. Under et besøg i Alaska i den første uge af september 2015 meddelte præsident Barack Obama, at bjerget ville få et nyt navn.
Denali
Denali–Mount McKinley naming dispute
Alaska in 1975 requested that the mountain be officially recognized as Denali, as it was still the common name used in the state. Attempts by the Alaskan state government to have Mount McKinley's name changed by the federal government were blocked by members of the congressional delegation from Ohio, the home state of the mountain's presidential namesake. In August 2015, Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell announced the name would officially be changed in all federal documents. While on an Alaskan visit in the first week of September 2015, President Barack Obama announced the renaming of the mountain.
