Liberty was called Little Valley by the Ute Indian Chief, Little Soldier. The first white men to visit this locality were trappers for Hudson Bay Fur Company in 1825. Here the Moroni Campbell family spent the winter of 1859, followed by other settlers who came in 1860. John Freeman renamed the settlement Liberty. The Latter-Day Saint ward was organized in 1892 with Joshua B. Judkins as bishop. Camp Durfee
