Cove
Fort was established in 1867 as a way-station for travelers going between
Salt Lake City and Mormon settlements in southern Utah. It is also on
a popular east-west trade route used by west-bound immigrants. The early
settlers were afraid that local native tribes might attack travelers,
so this fort was to be a safe haven. There were never any conflicts
in this area, and the fort was closed down after 1900.
