The stone fort was built in 1867 by Ira Nathaniel Hinckley of Coalville. Hinckley had been given the assignment by Brigham Young, who was then the first governor of the Territory of Utah, and president of the LDS Church. The property has changed hands over the years, but the descendants of Ira Hinckley recently organized the Cove Fort acquisition and Restoration Foundation, and acquired the fort and 11 surrounding acres of land with water rights, all which have been deeded to the church.

Of the many other early Utah forts, including those in Salt Lake City, Ogden, Vernal, Union, Tooele, Grantsvillc, Clover, Sprin-gvillMt.

Brigham Young, very early decided on a policy of feeding rather than fighting the Indians, according to Arza Hinckley.

Later in the latter the church leaders said that one of the reasons the fort needed to be built was :to afford protection from Indians to the Telegraph and mail station' and to travelers.." The concern over the potential thrfht of hostile Indians was real. U.S. 91 was known in the early days as Arrowhead Trail, however, the fort never suffered an attack. Cove Fort, on Cove Creek, was ideally situated between Fillmore on the north and Beaver on the South and the fort became a welcome sight to travelers. For a decade after the fort was built, Ira Hinckley managed it and reared his family. The church maintained ownership until the early 1900s when the President of the Church at that time, Joseph F. Smith, sold the property. Y-o- ur Munro, Gunnison, not pictured Keri Hersman, Manti.
