Story
Established 1868 by Ebenezer Hanks and others who organized the Great Western Iron Manufacturing Co., a cooperative enterprise. Officers were E. Hanks, President, Homer Duncan, Vice President, Seth M. Blair, Secretary. 800 pounds of iron of good quality was produced each 8 hours, the plant running day and night.
The enterprise was taken over in 1883 by the Iron Manufacturing Co. of Utah, with George Q. Cannon, President, Thomas Taylor, Vice President and Manager, John C. Cutler, Secretary. A railroad was moved here from Nevada to haul coal from Cedar Canyon to "Little Pinto" the name given this townsite.
