Levan

In spring 1867, Church leader Erastus Snow helped select a new site for Chicken Creek Settlement after it was relocated because of unfavorable living conditions, and Brigham Young named the new community Levan. Snow appointed Wm. Morgan and James Wilson as supervisors. Early in 1868, Wm. Dye built a dug-out home, and other first families to move were Jabes Broadhead and Jacob Hofheins. James Wilson, the first schoolteacher, taught in one room of the Seth Ollorton home, and Wm. Tunbridge served as town physician.
