In July, 1855, the first settlers in Cache Valley, 23 men and 2 women, under the leadership of Martin Ensign and Bryant Stringham, came to Willow Valley with about 2,000 cattle and established Elk Horn Ranch near Haw Bush Spring and built the first house. An early and severe winter killed most of the cattle; only 450 were alive in 1856. October 9, 1899, this property was deeded to Brigham Young College.

Benson, Cache County, Cache Junction, Logan, Mendon, Nibley, utah
Cache Junction is ten miles northwest of Mendon, near a spring. The site was initially settled by Sylcanus Collett in 1867. The town was established in 1890 as an outgrowth of Benson and it became an important railroad junction on the union Pacific Railroad. Originally this area was divided into Petersboro No. 1 and No. 2 became Cache Junction. The railroad no longer uses the stop but a cafe and a few local residents still remain.

Amalga, Cache County, Cache Valley, Logan, Newton, Nibley, Smithfield, utah
(Amalga when I woke up after sleeping there one night.)
(click here to go back to the list of Utah Cities)
Amalga is a cute little farm town, I enjoyed my stay there one weekend. I actually got my Jeep stuck in a ditch one night late while pulling over to find a geocache and was saved by a nice local with a tractor. I slept under the stars that night on a friends driveway and woke up the next morning to a beautiful foggy farmland. Creeks and fields as far as the eye can see, lots of fences too.
Amalga is easy to miss, it is between Smithfield and Newton if you know Cache County at all. Wikipedia says the population is 448, seems a little high to me. (ha ha) The best thing in town is the cheese factory, they make AMAZING cheese.
