Hatchet Resort comes from the Hatchet Cattle Ranch, which originally consisted of five homes. Hatchet Resort because the first house growers established roots in the area in the late 1800s and early 1900s and used the Hatchet brand on their livestock. The initial 800-acre Hatchet property began on a cattle ranch on the highway near the resort and stretched for two miles on either side of the road leading to the Teton Range. In 1950, the ranch was acquired by WB Campbell, an oil merchant from Kansas. After building a nearby highway through his ranch, Campbell built Hatchet Motel in 1954 using polar pine gathered from a nearby national forest. Hatchet's ultimate fate was decided on 17 November 1998 at the most dangerous forum of all - a public bankruptcy auction.
