Trump's a fan of President William McKinley, giving the Canton, Ohio, native a major shout-out in his inaugural address.

Although it may seem awkward to revert to a name not originally associated with the mountain, Trump’s decision reflects a return to American traditions.

During his inauguration speech, Donald Trump hailed President William McKinley and announced plans to restore the name of North America’s tallest peak from Denali to Mount McKinley. This decision would reverse the 2015 action by President Barack Obama,

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to restore the name of North America's highest peak to Mount McKinley from 'Denali'.

The pledge to rename Denali was opposed by environmental groups and Alaskan politicians, including Republican U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski.

Among the roughly 200 executive orders President Donald Trump is expected to sign during his first day in office is a declaration to restore the name of the 25th president, William McKinley, to an Alaska mountain.

Former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will not attend President-elect Donald Trump's traditional inaugural lunch.

Trump said he planned to “restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs."

During his inaugural address, President Donald Trump suggested he wants to revert the name of North America’s tallest mountain — Alaska’s Denali — to Mount McKinley. Here's why:

The Alaskan mountain, now known as Mount Denali, will revert back to its previous name Mount McKinley, which was changed by former President Barack Obama. Obama changed the name to Denali in 2015 to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives as well as the preference of many Alaska residents.

President Trump said he will sign executive orders to change the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America and Mount Denali to Mount McKinley.

In 2015, then-President Barack Obama changed the mountain's name to Denali to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives and preferences of residents.
