The Willow Creek Settlement
The Willow Creek pioneers established farms in this area in 1874, a school and irrigation canal in 1879, and an early branch of the Latter-day Saints church in 1885.
This portion of the East Willow Creek Country became Shelton Ward on August 14, 1892. It was named for John Shelton Howard, first Bishop.
The pioneers worked untiringly to bring civilization to one of the old west’s last frontiers.
This is Daughters of Utah Pioneers historic marker #87 (other markers listed here) located at 13576 North 105 East in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
