Ronaldo,

To answer your question.

Here is the little known story behind the name.

The leader of the pioneers who came across this great land was very old and hard of hearing. When they finally made their way across the Grand Tetons and came into the valley the leader and two other men had a conversation and it went like this.

Leader: "I" can see this great valley, can you?

2nd Man: Well, Duhhhhhhhhhhh!!

3rd man: OK, enough chitchat, it's time to get the tatters into the ground, so break out your spades and hoes!

Now remember the leader was very hard of hearing so all that he caught were the highlighted key words and decided to put then together and declaired the new land by name.

"I..Duhhhh..Ho!!!!"

Hope this clears things up about our states name....
