| Comment |
Ford was used by Indians, fur trappers and mountain men. About 1853 Ben Hampton and William Godbe operated a ferry for emigrant traffic. The site became a "home station" successively for stages of Oliver Conover, Ben Holladay and Wells-Fargo. Also known as Hampton's Bear River Crossing. |
