A Shoshone and Bannock homeland
The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes describe ancestral lands extending across present-day Idaho and neighboring regions. Settler accounts in this archive add that the valley was known to native hunters long before homesteading, that Mine Canyon was a route by which Native people entered the valley to hunt, and that the valley and its creek were named Bannock for the Bannock people.

The Hudspeth Cutoff crosses Summit and Buist
Promoted in 1849 by Benoni Hudspeth as a faster way to the California gold fields, the cutoff came west from Soda Springs, dropped into the valley in the Summit area, followed the valley floor south and turned west through Bull Canyon to Twin Springs. One historian estimated 45,000 emigrants used it in 1850 alone — about 250 wagons a day.

- 1884–1892
Possessory claims and water rights
Before the valley was formally opened to homesteading, settlers took up "possessory" claims — squatter's rights — and filed on water. When homesteading opened they had to file again and prove up over five years. The oldest dated settler records are water rights on Rattlesnake Creek with a priority of 1 April 1892 (Daniels, Lusk and Bolingbroke), decreed in 1907; the family dates of 1884–89 have not been found in any record. Until the townships were surveyed in 1901 the only federal claim open was the desert-land entry, which Lorenzo Evans (1894) and Gertrude Daniels (1895) used.

David Moroni Daniels comes to West Fork (family account)
By the family account (Zella Daniels Bolingbroke, in Bannock Valley), David Moroni Daniels came from Malad into the snowbound valley in March 1885. The family overview and the archive timeline date his water-right application on the Bannock Creek drainage to 1885, and his biography says the first legal record is a water right granted in 1887, fed by the large West Fork spring. Neither has been found in the land, water-decree or newspaper records searched; the earliest documented Daniels record is the 1892 priority of Thomas D. and Sarah Daniels's Rattlesnake Creek right.
Daniels ↗ - June 1892
Bowen and Davis look for land and water
David John Bowen and Samuel Deer Davis came over the mountain from Samaria, near Malad, in June 1892. They found water coming out of Knox Canyon that sank underground before reaching the valley floor and decided ditches could carry it to fields. Work on a ditch began that fall with help from Samaria; everyone went home for the winter. The Bailey family history and the 1917 valley history add J. R. Bailey and Ed Davis to the party; the Bailey history dates it 21 June 1892.

- 1893 (claims staked; federal entries from 1901)
Squatters' claims staked
The Arbon area timeline marks 1893 as the year homesteading opened. The townships were not yet surveyed, so the settlers of 1893 staked squatters' claims — the 1917 valley history has J. N. Arbon, Ed Davis, D. J. Bowen and others staking land that year — and could file at the land office only after the plats were opened in 1901. Filing on 160 acres then cost $16, followed by five years of fencing, breaking ground and building a cabin to prove up. The first families — Andersens, Daniels, Arbons and Evans among them — lived in wagon boxes, tents or dugouts.
Arbon (area history) ↗ - August 1893
Irrigation company organized in Samaria
The earliest meeting of what became the Bannock Valley Irrigation Company took place in Samaria. Its purpose was to own and control the water of Knox Creek through dams, ditches, pipes, flumes and reservoirs. Members pooled money, labor, equipment and horse teams, and kept detailed minutes — down to the pay for each man's work and team.
Lorenzo Bowen Evans & Anna Morse ↗ - 1893–1895 (accounts differ); decreed priority 24 July 1897
A mile-and-a-half ditch from Knox Canyon
Working together, the settlers dug a ditch about one and a half miles long from the mouth of Knox Canyon to land they held by squatter's rights. The Davis account dates it to 1893, the Arbon area history to 1894, and the George Arbon biography to 1895. In later years it grew to several miles — about seven by 1906, when Andrew Jenson described it — and its Knox Canyon Creek water right carries a decreed priority of 24 July 1897.
Davis ↗ - 1894
Families come for the summer
Spring 1894 brought back the Samaria homesteaders and others from Cache Valley, including the Andersen brothers on the east side of the Arbon area. Ed and Esther Arbon Davis came with their baby, and George Arbon brought his motherless children. Families shared what they had: wire to fence small fields, D. J. Bowen's Osborne dropper to cut grain, and a thresher brought from Samaria through Mine Canyon.

George and Joe Arbon stay the winter
Most settlers went back to Malad, Samaria or Cache Valley for the winter, but George Arbon and his son Joe stayed — by most accounts the first to winter in the valley. Joe remembered blizzards lasting a day, snow drifted to the eaves, and prying the door open to breathe after the chimney smoked. The 1917 county history says they wintered in a dug-out in 1895–96, and Andrew Jenson wrote in 1906 that the first families stayed through 1896–97. Since then the valley has never been completely vacated in winter.

The company was formally filed in Samaria. Edward Davis held 4⅗ shares and Lorenzo Evans four; George Arbon was a charter member. Within a few years the canal from Knox Canyon reached the Bowen place on present Bowen Lane.

Stockmen settle the north end (later Pauline)
Latter-day Saint stockmen, among them the Daniels brothers, located at the north end of Bannock Valley "in 1895 and following years" (Jenson); the site's 1895 list also names Bolingbroke, Davis, Evans and Lusk families. Federal homestead entries at the future crossroads began in March 1901 (Thomas D. Daniels), and Pauline grew into a named crossroads with a store, post office and ward from 1911, on the roads to American Falls and Pocatello. The site's wider, undated list of "prominent first residents" adds the Nobles and Kowallises, who came in 1905 and 1909.

The ditch reaches the Ward fields
By 1898 the ditch out of Knox Canyon was several miles long, reaching Jesse N. Ward's upper fields. Long-time residents later said neither Knox nor Buck Wright Canyon proved a very reliable source of water.
Arbon (area history) ↗ - 1898 (postmaster appointed 21 June; office opened in August)
A post office named Arbon
In January 1898 the Post Office Department drew up a location paper for a proposed office at "Mountain Side," to be called Arbon, serving about seventy people by special supply from Malad City, thirty-five miles away; the site's accounts say "Mountain Side" was rejected as too long. D. J. Bowen signed the paper as proposed postmaster, was appointed on 21 June 1898, and opened the office that August. Every early account says it was named for George Arbon, the oldest of the first settlers — though he said he was too poor that year to buy a two-cent stamp. Mail came about weekly from Malad over Rocky Ridge, carried at first by the settlers in turn. The first mail out, on 7 October 1898, was three letters.

Arbon LDS Branch organized
On 19 August 1900 about ten families and a few single men were organized as the Arbon Branch of the Samaria Ward, Malad Stake, with D. J. Bowen as presiding elder — by the site and family accounts, in Bowen's home. J. R. Bailey was the first Sunday School superintendent, with Ed Davis and Joe Arbon as assistants. It was a branch, not yet a ward: Arbon became a ward in 1908. Meetings moved among private homes, and for decades church was held only in the summer months, when families were in the valley.
Arbon (area history) ↗ - March–September 1901
The first homestead entries
Once the townships were surveyed, the settlers who had squatted on the valley floor since the 1890s filed at the Blackfoot land office. The register dates the first entries: Jennett Daniels Price and Henry Daniels on 12 March 1901 at West Fork, then Donum and Thomas D. Daniels later that month; Charles A. Bailey on 28 March, the first on the Arbon floor; D. B. Evans and Julius Abter in April; John Payne's and Jane Dalton's desert-land claims in May; Thomas Gibbons, the Bailey brothers, George Arbon, David T. Davis and Jesse Ward's desert land in late May; D. J. Bowen and J. A. R. Gibbons on 6 June and William Arnn on 8 June; the first Summit entries — Joseph T. Wood, Peter Larsen of Mendon and Frederick J. Manning — on 2 July; and John C. and Otto Andersen on 6 September. Most gave their residence as "Arbon, Oneida."

A log building for school, church and dances
The community hauled logs from the canyons and built a 20×36-foot building "by everyone, regardless of church affiliation." The site's accounts put it beside the George Arbon homestead on Church Road, where the present meetinghouse stands, on land they say Lorenzo and Chloa Bailey gave; the Power County history puts the 1902 log school in Section 12 instead. It served as Valley View School, meetinghouse, dance hall and public meeting place, and was Oneida County School District 46 by 1907; around 1904 the logs were covered with lumber.

Crystal's first proved-up homestead
Crystal was homesteaded later than the rest of the valley. The Meadows claim — entered by Joseph H. Meadows of Pocatello on 3 October 1902 — was the first to be proved up, commuted to a cash entry on 29 July 1907 after his death in December 1905; the patent went to Melvin Meadows, probably his son, in 1908. John O. Johnston and Henry Kettler, who also entered in October 1902, received patents in February 1910. Of the names listed before 1920, only the Hayden, Bradley, Stewart and Wright families still had homes and farms there when the account was written.
Crystal (area history) ↗ - 1 March 1909
Buist post office
As homesteaders filled the south end, a post office opened. John E. Richards of Holbrook (probably Eugene Richards of the Mendon Richards family) had asked for an office called "Taft"; the Department's form came back describing a "Sheep Creek settlement" of forty people, with "Taft" struck out and "Buist" written in — probably for homesteader William Buist. Richards was appointed on 1 March 1909. The office closed in February 1912 and reopened on 10 June 1914 under the storekeeper August F. Jeppson; Louise P. Bird kept it from 1926 until it was discontinued on 15 August 1936, its mail going to Holbrook.

The dry-farm rush to Summit
After a handful of earlier entries — Larsen, Manning and Wood in 1901, C. W. Hughes in 1905 and the Sorensens in 1908 — most Summit homesteads were entered in 1909, as dry farming drew settlers to the high middle of the valley. Most came through a kin network from Mendon and Logan in Cache Valley: Lavinia Hughes (April), the three Swenson brothers together, Joseph T. Benson, Henry C. Sorensen and Charles Orison (between February and August), the widow Laura Hardman (autumn) and Floyd Hardman (December). A party from Dayton, Washington, filed in Section 11 in May, and the Nunnelleys from Kentucky filed that month and moved onto their claims in August. Many of the Cache Valley families kept their homes there and farmed Summit in summer; in 1913 they formed the Canyon Branch. The site's list of early Summit names — Hardman, Jenson, King, Larsen, Orison, Sorensen and Wood — fits this period.

Buist's founding homesteads
When the Buist township (T13S R33E) opened to entry, the Mendon families who had been ranching there filed together: ten known entries carry consecutive land-office serials of about July–September 1909 — William Buist (the lowest number), Emer and Willard Richards, the widow Margaret E. Smith, Robert H., James S., George and William L. Willie, and their brother-in-law William F. King. John E. Richards, the new postmaster, received the township's first patent in June 1910, and a second wave — the Bird brothers, Fanny Evans (later Hall) and others — entered in 1910. In May 1910 the census found the four single Willie brothers, King and the Richardses at the Buist end of Holbrook precinct.

Every farmable acre is taken up
Cattle and horses grazed the open country until 1907. Returning in the spring of 1910, George Andersen found that "every piece of land that could be farmed was settled on," by newcomers from as far as eastern Washington and from Cache Valley: "the valley became alive with people."

Jenson Pass is built
Farmers asked Oneida County for a real road to Malad, the county seat. By family tradition, in 1910 the county hired Summit homesteader Joseph C. Jenson to supervise it. Neighbors worked behind a horse-drawn Fresno scraper and blasted rock with giant powder; the narrow road had only a few turnouts. Sacked wheat took six horses to reach the divide. A county road-bond proposal of April 1911 included $500 for "completing grade of Malad Arbon road" without naming the route, and by 1916 a Malad report called the way over the pass "the Jensen road."
Summit (area history) ↗ - 30 September 1910
Crystal post office
Cora F. Snyder was appointed Crystal's first postmistress on 30 September 1910. It was a special-supply office with no mail route: neighbors took turns fetching mail from Hawkins Basin, twelve miles south-east, and a letter could take two months to arrive from Pocatello, until Pocatello mail began coming three times a week in December 1915. Later postmasters were John O. Johnston (1915), the storekeeper Ezra H. Lindsay (1918), W. C. Snyder (1920), Cora Snyder again (1922), Margary Hayden (1923–37) and Delsa Fannin Hayden (1937–38). The office was discontinued on 15 August 1938 and its mail sent to Arbon.

Three children lost at a flooded crossing
After a January thaw and Chinook wind filled every creek, the Ezra Taft Andersen and Dell C. Dalton families were going home together when their sleigh or wagon box overturned at a flooded crossing. Mr. Dalton lifted it off the others; Mrs. Dalton and Eva Andersen held children by their feet. Two Dalton children (probably George, six or seven, and the infant Dora) and Nicholas Andersen — five by his recorded birth date (four in the May 1910 census), six by the family account — were swept away and found downstream the next morning. The archive says they were buried in the Pauline Cemetery; Find a Grave and a memorial stone place them in the Arbon Valley Cemetery.
Arbon (area history) ↗ - June 1911
Meadow Ward at Pauline
In June 1911 the north part of the Arbon Ward was set apart as the Meadow Ward, with Wilhelm F. Kowallis — whose mother Pauline is said to have given the area its name — as first bishop, W. E. Dawson as clerk and Anna E. Lusk as first Relief Society president. It met in a T-shaped log meetinghouse which, by Andrew Jenson's distances, stood on the main north–south road near Pauline or the Lusk Loop corner rather than in West Fork. Daniels, Lusk and Bolingbroke families attended; about half the area's people were not Latter-day Saints. Later bishops were H. Perry Howell (1918–21) and Robert Wheatley (1921–29).

Crystal Central School
District 14 built a 28×48-foot frame school for $1,750 — a large sum for homesteaders. Five other schools served the fifty-square-mile Crystal area. The district (in Power County from 1913) sold bonds in 1913 with J. W. Staley as chairman; John Hayden served it as trustee, chairman or clerk from 1916 to 1925. Its out-schools included the Thacker, Moench, Gabbert, Blair and "Davis" schools, and the Crystal Latter-day Saints met in the Central schoolhouse.

Ed Davis opens a general store
Ed Davis sold groceries and hay from his home by the winter of 1912–13, and about 1915 opened a "fine general, up-to-date" store near it — false-fronted, the best in the valley to that time, well stocked with staples and selling gasoline and kerosene. Many homesteaders went eleven months a year without cash; one wrote that her family would have starved without his credit. The store traded until about 1931.

The valley is divided between two counties
Power County was created on 30 January 1913 from parts of Bingham, Blaine, Cassia and Oneida counties, two years after the valley voted 109 to 30 to be included. Crystal, Pauline–West Fork and the Arbon floor went to the new county, with American Falls as county seat; the line ran just south of Magnus Andersen's place, and Summit and Buist stayed in Oneida. Crystal had been in Oneida County, not Bannock.

Branches and churches of 1913
In 1913 the newer settlements organized their own congregations. Latter-day Saint branches were formed at Crystal (25 May, John A. Brown presiding elder), at Summit — the Canyon Branch (15 June, Joseph Taft Benson) — and at Buist (14 September, Archibald S. Hall); the Buist Branch became the Mount View Ward and the Canyon Branch the Summit Ward in 1915, and Crystal became a ward in 1916. Protestants, in the Rev. B. W. Rice's community-church drive, organized a Congregational church at the Arbon Central school on 13 July 1913 and the Highland church at Summit, on or beside an acre of Mamie Nunnelley's homestead; a student pastor served both in the summer of 1915.
Buist (area history) ↗ - August–October 1915
Highland School, Summit
Oneida County School District 12 bought a three-acre lot on Mamie Nunnelley's homestead, "joining the church lot," in August 1915, and the contractor McIntyre built a two-room school that autumn with Guy Benson's help and timber logged by James A. Nunnelley; 36 pupils attended in October. Attendance sometimes topped forty. It also hosted the Canyon Branch's (from November the Summit Ward's) Sunday meetings (first held there 15 December 1915) and social gatherings. Teachers at first boarded around with families.
Summit (area history) ↗ - about 1917 onward
Families begin to leave
With four families to a square mile, the valley was full — but a family could not live on 160 dry acres. From about 1917, and through the Depression, people moved away for better land, work and high schools, and those who stayed bought out their neighbors. The records show the first wave leaving during the boom itself: only about 25 of the 104 household heads of 1910 were still heads in the valley in 1920. The stock-killing winter of 1916–17, the drought of 1919 and the fall of farm prices after the war drove more away.

Pauline wheat warehouse
The valley's only grain warehouse began as a raised platform across from the Pauline school — in 1917 Robert Wheatley bought grain there for the Intermountain Milling Co. — with Ed England buying wheat. Others hauled the sacks to the railroad docks at Schilling, near present I-86; it soon became a covered building and operated about ten years. "The England Warehouse" at Pauline still served as the county's rodent-bait station in 1931–32.

Horses driven into the mountains to survive
Deep snow lasted so long that by March the hay was gone. The men drove the horses into the mountains on the east side of the valley, where the ridges blew clear, and carried oats up to them on homemade skis every day or two.

Crank phones on barbed wire
The earliest telephones in Buist came about 1922: crank phones, a ring pattern for each household, wires of barbed wire strung on fence posts — and party lines anyone could listen in on. The Pauline store already had a telephone in 1921.

A new Arbon church house
A larger church was built across the road from the original log building, where the Arbon Pavilion now stands — probably on Esther Davis's forty in Section 23. Bishop Joe (Joseph N.) Arbon, in his second term as bishop, oversaw its construction at a cost of about $11,000; members of every faith contributed time, labor and money, and it hosted community events for decades.

From horses to tractors
Families who had harnessed up to eighteen horses a day changed over: the Arbons bought their first gasoline tractor in 1928, the Bolingbrokes a Caterpillar in the early 1930s, the Lusks traded their horses for a Model M crawler in 1937 ($1,650), and Mark Andersen's family bought its first tractor around 1941.

Drought and Depression empty the outlying areas
Wartime prices collapsed and the rains failed, and the outlying settlements' institutions closed one by one: the Pauline post office (November 1929) and Meadow Ward (December 1929); the Summit Ward (May 1930); Buist School (1931); Mountain View School (1935); the Crystal Ward (1935), after most of its Latter-day Saint families had moved to a ranch near Salmon; the Buist post office (August 1936); the Mount View Ward at Buist (December 1937); the Crystal post office (August 1938); and Highland School in Summit (about 1941).

"Almost the whole ward moved"
After a five-year drought, with taxes unpaid, the Fannins, Len Whiting's family and about a dozen other Crystal families left together for the Hagle Ranch on Kirtley Creek near Salmon, taking the Whiting sawmill with them. Floyd Denning lost his land to the county for taxes. The Fannins were transferred to the Salmon Ward on 19 December 1931, and Bishop Whiting, three families and the ward clerk had gone by 30 March 1932; by 1940 no Whiting, Fannin, Denning or Light household remained at Crystal except Delsa Fannin Hayden's.

West Fork land bought for the Fort Hall project
In the later 1930s the United States bought farms in and beside the Fort Hall Reservation as "submarginal land" for the Tribes' use — 8,711 acres in nineteen tracts under project LI-ID-2. The project was approved by July 1935, owners' options were being closed and paid from November 1936, and one Power County tract was deeded on 14 December 1936. The West Fork and Big Meadows tracts of the Prices, the Finks and Perry Lusk, which now lie inside the reservation, were probably among them. The land was held by the United States and used by the Tribes under permits until Congress placed it in trust for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes in 1975. The archive says homesteading families were paid but had to relocate; today no roads reach the old ranch sites.

Electric power arrives
Through the Rural Electrification program, power reached Arbon Valley in 1945 (the Eph Bolingbroke page) or 1947 (Zella Bolingbroke's original text in Bannock Valley), and the Buist area about 1947. Families who had relied on coal-oil lamps, a Delco plant, wind chargers — or, at the Bradley ranch, a water wheel on Rattlesnake Creek — now bought electric stoves and refrigerators.

The winter of 1948–49
A seventeen-day storm alternated south winds with west blizzards; families were snowed in from the day after Christmas until 22 March. Mail was flown from Pocatello and dropped in a field, rural carrier Sod Williams delivered it on horseback, and hay was airlifted to ranchers who could not reach their stacks.

The valley road is oiled
The gravel road from Holbrook north through the valley to the Crystal turn was first oiled about 1959. (A Bolingbroke account says the highway was paved about the time electricity came in 1945.) Joe Arbon called hard-surfaced roads to the ranch one of his fondest dreams come true.
Buist (area history) ↗ - 1965
Party lines give way to dial phones
Joe Arbon, with Sod Williams and Claude Gibbons, raised $200 subscriptions from about thirty valley families to replace the barbed-wire lines and crank phones with a modern dial system; until then calls went through Gena Newport's switchboard in the old Evans house. Claude J. Gibbons's own obituary independently credits him with writing to telephone companies until one agreed. (Buist had moved off crank phones in 1952.)

The valley the homesteaders made
The whole valley is now called Arbon. Of its four post offices (the accounts say five) one remains, in Pauline; instead of ten schools, Arbon Elementary teaches grades K–6 in two classrooms. The accounts name families still farming and ranching on or near the original homesteads, including Andersen, Bradley, Evans, Hayden, Hess, Jenson, Lusk, Swim, Ward and Williams.
