The Cache Valley area was known as Willow Valley originally because of all the Willows along the rivers and streams. The name of Cache comes from the place the mountainmen stored their furs during the trapping seasons. They would store the furs and then bring them out for the rendezvous. The fur business began to decline during the 1840's. Formed in 1864, Cache County borders were re-aligned in 1864 when Richland, later Rich, County was formed.
Cache Valley settlement began in 1855 when Bryant Stringham brought his herd of cattle here on July 29. The area was known as Haw Bush Spring, later named Elkhorn Ranch. Because of severe weather that winter, they drove the cattle back to Salt Lake Valley. Mormon settlers came back into the Cache Valley in 1856 when called to do so by their prophet, Brigham Young. Peter Maughan was the leader of the group which settled in the Wellsville area with the building of Fort Maughan. Gradually other towns grew in the lush valley. Charles Rich, for whom Rich County was named, settled the Bear Lake Valley. The Shoshoni Indians had lived in the area, but with the coming of more and more settlers, they moved on. There was some hostility before they left. The Battle of Bear River was a large one with many of the Shoshoni dying at the river edge.

A very fertile valley with many lakes and streams. The Wellsville Mountains are on the west and the Bear River Range, a part of the Wasatch Mountains, is on the east side. The Bear River courses through the northwestern corner of Cache County. The ancient geography involves the giant Lake Bonneville. The lake once covered all the area from part of southern Idaho down to the middle of the state of Utah. As the lake receded, it left terraces at the different levels. In some areas you may find shells and fossils if you hunt a little. Cache County has much of its area covered with forest and with mountains. At least half of the land is part of the Cache National Forest. The valley floor is covered with productive farmland.
