' ' 'A First Amalga Family Finds Desolate Land By Donna Jorgenson century and a quarter ago the land straight west of Smith-fielA d, which was to become Amalga, was to all appearances a vast desolate desert without trees, shrubs or any greenery other than sagebrush and splintering willows along the river bank. The land could be used for grazing in the spring, but in the hot summer months the land was scorched for lack of a natural water supply. Bears, wolves, coyotes and other wild animals were numerous and generally unfriendly Indians inhabited the area. This area of land was a small part of the larger section known as Trenton. At this time, Trenton extended from the Idaho line on the north to Benson on the south. The first settlers to make their home here were Hans Jorgensen and family. Acting on the advice of stake president William Preston in 1869, Hans obtained a supply of lumber and with ox teams set out to find a new home. He was taken over the river on the Reese ferry which was near where the Ballards barn now stands in Benson. Driving about hree miles north, the Jorgensens :hose a location by a natural spring near the present day Cache Valley Cheese Plant. The wooden shanty they built was probably the first home made there by white people. Then they began the difficult task of reclaiming the desert. When We Were Kids roof and a dirt flow.

It was a centennial year because the first white man, traditionally Jim Bridger, came into our valley in 1824. His name has been used to promote our valley a great deal in the past few years, but it was a new name to me in 1924. 1 knew about the Mormon pioneers first entering Salt Lake Valley on the 24th of July, but the story about the trappers was a history lesson to me. I learned that our supremely beautiful valley had first been called Willow Valley. Later, the valley won its name of Cache from the activity of trappers who cached their furs along the banks of the streams that flow out of the mountains into Bear River. contest was held that year as part of the g A celebration.

The year before, 1923, Smithfield citizens celebrated Pioneer Day by going into Main Canyon for the day.
