History
Malad Valley was used as a herd-ground in early Utah days, and the first attempt made to settle it was in 1855 when Ezra Barnard of Farmington, Utah and about 15 other families located a settlement on the east side of the Malad River, nearly opposite of the present Washakie. During that and following years these settlers built an adobe fort enclosing about an acre of ground inside of which they dug cellars and erected log house. The first attempt at farming in Malad Valley was unsuccessful, as the crops were destroyed by grasshoppers. The little settlement of Malad and Samaria were founded further north. It is the terminus of the Malad branch of the Oregon Short Line Railroad and the business center of the whole country lying west, north and south. A large percentage of the settlers in Malad are of Welsh descent.

Additional history of Malad, Idaho and the early Mormon settlers there can be found in: Andrew Jenson. Encyclopedic History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Salt Lake City: Deseret News Publishing Company, 1941, p. 463.
