Cache County Records Collection, (1860-1987)
Historical Note:
Though others had been in the valley some time previous, the first real settlement of Cache Valley began in 1856 at the direct counsel of Brigham Young, who made the decision after hearing of the severe problems in the Tooele settlement to the west of Salt Lake City. Brigham Young wrote to Peter Maughan inviting him to "pick out a location in Cache Valley for a settlement" (34). A group of approximately nine men and their families went to the valley where they camped at the southern end and built two rows of small cabins, this settlement was later became Wellsville. During that first year more families came and by 1857, thirteen houses were erected
When the President of the United States ordered troops to march on Utah to put down the Mormon rebellion, know as the Utah War, Cache Valley settlers fled south to rendezvous with fellow Latter-day Saint near modern day Provo, Utah. After the Utah War had ended, the original settlers returned to Cache Valley in 1859 accompanied by several new families, making a total of thirty families. That year, settlers migrated to Cache Valley in greater numbers and founded the North Settlement (later Mendon), Providence, Logan, Richmond, and Smithfield. The 1860 U.S. Census listed the total population as "2,605 persons in the valley" (48). By 1890, Logan was a "beautiful modern city and had become the business, educational, political, and religious center of Cache Valley" (59).
An act passed January 6, 1856, established the boundaries of Cache County and authorization to organize the county given to an elected probate judge upon his election. In 1857 Peter Maughan was duly elected and empowered to organize. From then on the new county began to accumulate records of which this collection is but a small part.

Provenance:
The materials in this collection were transferred from the Cache County Courthouse, of Logan, Utah to the Utah State University Special Collections & Archives according to Cache County Ordinance No. 88-10 and the County Records Management and Custodial Agreement dated 3 January 1989.
Scope & Content:
This collection consists of the historic records of Cache County Government from 1860 to 1987. The materials in this collection provide a detailed log of early government activity, business operation, legal action, agriculture, and numerous other fields of study relating to Cache County. Although many ledgers in this collection concern Logan, Utah, numerous ledgers also concern smaller towns found throughout Cache County. Of particular interest is Probate Court Record # 20, with Judge Peter Maughan presiding. This record is one of the oldest records of this collection, yielding a glimpse of the first recorded legal actions taken in Cache County.
The materials in this collection have been organized in reflection of the provenance kept at the Cache County Courthouse prior to their transfer to Special Collections & Archives. Each ledger or group of similar ledgers has been assigned a number and arranged numerically. Loose correspondence and papers have been boxed and placed at the end of the collection. In addition to the below listed materials, this collection contains recent records of Cache County on microfilm, which is listed at the end of this collection. It should be noted that this collection is partly incomplete, since Cache County retained various county records. Those seeking records not found in this collection should contact the Cache County Courthouse for further assistance.
