From the text- "Hampton's Bear River Crossing Ford was used by Indians, Fur Trappers and Mountain Men. About 1853 Ben Hampton and Wm Godbe operated a ferry for emigrant…traffic. The site became a 'Home Station' successively for stages of Oliver and Conover, Ben Holliday, and Wells-Fargo. About 1866 Hampton, Godbe, Alvin Nichols Sr., Mark Bigler and others erected the toll bridge, stage barns, and rock hotel. The bridge was acquired by Box Elder County in 1883. In 1904 the rails reached Malad and traffic through here declined. The station remains one of the best preserved of all stage stops in the old west. September 14, 1957".
