This valley, settled by Thomas Rhodes in 1858, was a summer paradise for Indians who came to hunt, fish, and gather wild fruit and sego bulbs. The Weber River Indian trail skirted the east foothills to Weber Canyon, crossed the river at the Old Kamas Ford 3½ miles east of here, and ran on to Henry's Fork and to Brush Creek in the eastern Uinta Mountains. This trail was used by Indians, scouts, and pioneers and is marked in part by the present highway.
