F. Ross Peterson writes about the history of Cache County, Utah in the Utah Centennial County History Series.
"Cache County, Utah,-has a wonderful historical legacy. The high alpine county hosted Native Americans for generations prior to its exploration and settlement by Europeans and white Americans. Geographically isolated but abounding in water, game, and beaver, the area became a beloved respite for the early trappers. Other explorers and traders also found their way into the beautiful valley, but the cold winters discouraged any type of permanent settlement until the late 1850s."
