Mt. McKinley and Gulf of America name changes take effect!

President Trump made good on his promises to rename the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America, and to restore the name of Denali back to Mt. McKinley. (I blogged about the latter back in December, which you can read about here.)

As the Instagram account Italiani4Trump points out, the new name Gulf of America honors Italian explorer and navigator Amerigo Vespucci.

And of course, the name Mt. McKinley honors President William McKinley, who unjustly had his name removed from the tallest mountain in America by President Obama back in 2015. 

According to Fox News, Google Maps is updating its maps to reflect the new names.

This is fantastic news, and I am truly hoping that these name changes honoring deserving historical figures are only the beginning…
