history
The area around what is now Nibley was originally settled by Shoshone Indians before Mormon settlers began to settle in the region in 1824 . In 1849 the Cache Valley was surveyed by the US Army Corps of Engineers and given to the landowner Brigham Young, who used the land for raising cattle. In 1855 a ranch called Elk Horn Ranch was established in the area of present-day Nibley , and it became the first Mormon settlement in Cache Valley. Shortly afterwards the village was given up again.
In 1860 a new settlement was built on the east bank of the Blacksmith Fork River , the new location of the settlement was better protected from attacks by the indigenous people living in the area. The new village was named Millville Ward . After a battle between the Indians and the settlers who had moved in in 1863, the Shoshone were expelled into Indian reservations and the settlement was again expanded to the west. In the 1920s, Millville Ward was divided into two settlements, the village on the west bank of the Blacksmith Fork River was renamed Nibley Ward , the settlement was named after the Mormon priest Charles Wilson Nibley .
On May 21, 1935, a council meeting discussed the incorporation of Nibley as an independent city. On August 30, 1935, the founding application was approved and Nibley was incorporated as a city.
