Wilson was pioneered in 1889 by Elijah Nicholas Wilson, known for having lived with the Shoshone Indians as a boy in the 1850s. His book, The White Indian Boy,[4] describes his experiences, including his time as a rider for the Pony Express. The town was later named in his honor.[5] It sits at the base of Teton Pass, just northwest of Jackson on State Highway 22.
