Historians have a rough time trying to tell who was the first person to do this or that, or who really was the first settlers in present day Nephi, Utah. Nobody knows for sure, but needless to say the Mormon settlers may not have been the first, but an entire book could be written on that. My history lessons are here to push a little interest so anybody can find what they believe is the truth. For now, this is the first few people that were Salt Creek Dwellers, or what is now Nephi. In addition, we have put a copy of a map of who live where years ago. It is kind of fun to print a copy and see if you can find the old hollow and who lived where. Some of the Pioneer family names are still here. Then if you go into the Nephi City building and look at the photo to the north, you may find a photo of the old gate that was a part of Salt Creek Fort. I am still trying to find out if it was the gate on the North or the South, but maybe somebody else can do that project. Have fun.
