Designated a National Monument in 1906 by President Teddy Roosevelt, Wyoming’s Devils Tower was the victim of a typographical error at birth. As the National Park Service’s website puts it:
When the proclamation establishing Devils Tower was published, the apostrophe was unintentionally dropped from “Devil’s”—and this clerical error was never officially corrected.
