Board’s Crossing was first used as a cattle crossing in the early 1870’s. Brothers David and William Board moved here from Missouri in 1854, settled in Salt Springs Valley, and raised cattle. This shallow ford across the river was a favorite with local ranchers as cattle were moved to the mountains each summer. The family built their small cabin here, and it still stands. The Boards continued this operation for nearly 30 years, then sold to the pioneer family Nichols in 1906.
