    Yellowstone National Park is an American national park located in the western United States, largely in the northwest corner of Wyoming and extending into Montana and Idaho. It was established by the 42nd U.S. Congress with the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially the Old Faithful geyser, one of its most popular. While it represents many types of biomes, the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion. While Native Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years, aside from visits by mountain men during the early-to-mid-19th century, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s. Management and control of the park originally fell under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of the Interior, the first Secretary of the Interior to supervise the park being Columbus Delano. However, the U.S. Army was eventually commissioned to oversee management of Yellowstone for a 30-year period between 1886 and 1916. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year. Hundreds of structures have been built and are protected for their architectural and historical significance, and researchers have examined more than a thousand archaeological sites. Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 sq mi (8,983 km2), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers, and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-elevation lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent. The caldera is considered a dormant volcano. It has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years. Well over half of the world's geysers and hydrothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining nearly-intact ecosystem in the Earth's northern temperate zone. In 1978, Yellowstone was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hundreds of species of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians have been documented, including several that are either endangered or threatened. The vast forests and grasslands also include unique species of plants. Yellowstone Park is the largest, and most famous megafauna location in the contiguous United States. Grizzly bears, wolves, and free-ranging herds of bison and elk live in this park. The Yellowstone Park bison herd is the oldest and largest public bison herd in the United States. Forest fires occur in the park each year; in the large forest fires of 1988, nearly one third of the park was burnt. Yellowstone has numerous recreational opportunities, including hiking, camping, boating, fishing, and sightseeing. Paved roads provide close access to the major geothermal areas as well as some of the lakes and waterfalls. During the winter, visitors often access the park by way of guided tours that use either snow coaches or snowmobiles.

    20 Yellowstone Street is a geared to income community located at Topcliffe Avenue and Finch Ave. West in the Jane and Finch community of North York in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This small cluster of townhomes was built in the 1960s-70s and is owned by the TCHC. This community consists of extreme diversity both in culture and economic need as it was originally developed as a model suburb in response to the rapid urban growth of Toronto. The community was planned to accommodate a higher need population with its low income and public housing, but no thought was given to the social infra-structure needed to sustain community life. As development crept around Jane and Finch, clashes between income and racial groups became inevitable within its communities such as Yellowstone. Soon after it was established, Jane and Finch was already being portrayed as a hub for crime, drug dealing and social problems. Its residents, hailing from a multitude of ethno-cultural groups and speaking a variety of different languages, had few resources to address the many, difficult challenges facing the community. Just like other adjective housing communites in Jane and Finch, Yellowstone has a high percentage of teen mothers, working poor and a disproportionately high number of families with children under 16, including many single parent families. This complex is affectionately referred to as "Y-Block" by local area youths and falls under the Down-Bottom "card" as it has been claimed as territory of a local Bloods set dubbed the Y-Block Bloods gang from since the late 1990s.
