Question:
Answer: "Jasper was named after Jasper Hawes, who operated a trading post in the region for the North West Company. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasper_National_Park Before I read that I thought Jasper referred to the gemstone, which would've made sense since the mountains/rivers could remind somebody of jewelry.
