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

President Donald Trump says he’s changing the official name of Alaska’s — and North America’s — tallest peak from Denali back to Mount McKinley. It’s the latest chapter in a long struggle over what the mountain should be called.
During his inaugural address, President Donald Trump vowed to change the name of Denali in Alaska back to Mount McKinley.

President Donald Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and the Alaska mountain Denali to Mount McKinley. What you need to know.
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:

President Trump’s territorial assertions sparked a round of rethinking by mapmakers and teachers, snark on social media and sarcasm by at least one other world leader.
The Gulf of Mexico has carried that name for more than 400 years. The Associated Press will refer to it by its original name while acknowledging the new name Trump has chosen. As a global news agency that disseminates news around the world, the AP must ensure that place names and geography are easily recognizable to all audiences.
