Fort Herriman was built in 1855 by Thomas Butterfield, Henry Herriman, Samuel Egbert, Robert Petty, and John Stocking as protection against the Indians. The fort was abandoned in 1858 under instructions from Brigham Young upon the approach of Johnston's Army. Some of the settlers returned a few years later and established the Town of Herriman. The fort was named for Henry Herriman, and nearby Butterfield Canyon was named for Thomas Butterfield, pioneers of this section.
