It is situated along the North Fork of the Shoshone River in Shoshone National Forest, between Cody and the eastern entrance of Yellowstone National Park. The location is named after the Cree Indian word for elk. The name wapiti is also used exclusively for the descendants of elk introduced to New Zealand by President Roosevelt in 1905.

Public education in the community of Wapiti is provided by Park County School District #6. The Smith Mansion, a structure built by hand by engineer Francis Lee Smith, is located in Wapiti. Smith took up residence in the home once the first floor was complete but never stopped construction, adding new floors, rooms, and features until he died 12 years later. In this respect, it is similar to the Winchester Mystery House. Smith died in 1992 after falling from an upper level.
