Smokey Bear

In spring of 1950, a badly burned black bear cub was rescued from a large forest fire at Capitan Gap in the Capitan Mountains. First called Hotfoot Teddy, he was later renamed Smokey and became the real-life version of the United States Forest Service mascot Smokey Bear. Smokey was later sent to the National Zoo in Washington D.C., where he lived for 26 years. Upon his death on November 9, 1976,[6] Smokey's remains were returned by the government to Capitan and buried at what is now the Smokey Bear Historical Park.[7]

Notable people

Capitan is the home of rancher and businessman Edward R. Tinsley, III, owner of the K-Bob's Steakhouse restaurant chain. He was also the unsuccessful Republican nominee in 2008 for the 2nd congressional district seat vacated by Steve Pearce, who ran unsuccessfully for the United States Senate.
