McKinley, Mount, Alaska/USA Densmore Peak Named in 1889 after Frank Densmore, a prospector, it was renamed in 1896 by William A. Dickey in honour of William McKinley (1843–1901), who was shortly to become the US President (1897–1901). Its original Aleut name was Denali ‘The High One’ and before the Russians sold Alaska to the USA in 1867 they called it Bolshaya Gora ‘Great Mountain’. The McKinley River in Alaska is also named after William McKinley.
