Early in 1876, Andrew Jackson Allred was called by Brigham Young to lead a group of settlers into Rabbit Valley, including ten members of the Allred family, W.W. Morrel and his son Silas, and William and Henry Maxfield. They built their homes east of the Fremont River but, because of floods, moved westward to a point of the hill. There they established log cabins, a trading post, a store, and a post office. One half mile farther south, the first burr grist mill was erected. Allred served as the first postmaster and Indian interpreter, and only the grave of little Silas W. Morrell remains in Fremont's first cemetery.
