    SECTION 1 NORTHWESTERN AREA INCLUDING JACKSON, DUBOIS, PINEDALE AND STAR VALLEY 2 Food, Lodging Afton Pop. 1,818, Elev. 6,134 Named ironically for the line in a Robert Burns poem, (“Flow gently, sweet Afton”) this town Section 1 below the Salt Range is situated by the turbulent Swift Creek. A genuine small town, it is the cen- tral business hub of Star Valley, which was settled by pioneers from the LDS (Mormon) church in 1879. The winter of 1879-1880 was brutal, but they endured the near starvation and frigid tem- peratures. In the center of town, the Afton Tabernacle still stands as a monument to their fortitude. The signature Elkhorn Arch nearby, which spans Main Street, is made of over 3,000 antlers. Afton celebrated its first 100 years in 2002. Though still a dominantly agricultural community, locals have embraced tourism, which has resulted from the overflow of visitors to the Jackson and the Wind River areas. Dairy farming made the valley famous for its cheese, especially hard-to-make Swiss. Afton is probably most I recently associated with being the hometown of NCLUDING The Teton Mountain Range is visible from many parts of this area.
