In 1884 a group of Utah Mormons settled and pioneered this locality, clearing sagebrush land, digging canals, and erecting humble log homes. They built a log room used for church, school, and recreation. Daniel S. Robbins, a veteran, was made presiding elder, and in his home, located two hundred yards from here, the town of Rigby was named in honor of William R. Rigby of the Latter-Day Saints Stake Presidency. In 1886, George A. Cordon taught the first school.
