History: In the summer of 1859, Mr. Seth Langton was advised by President Brigham Young of the L. D. S. Church, to settle in Cache Valley. Mr. Langton, in company with Mr. Robert Thornley, arrived in the Valley about August 1859, to look over various locations and locate a land claim. The settlement of Wellsville, Providence, Logan and Mendon were being imbued with the real pioneer spirit and with a keen desire to be one of the pioneers of a settlement with a good sized farm therefore, decided to take a land claim on the Summit Creek. Mr. Langton was quick to see the natural advantages at Summit Creek and none of the settlers at Logan had built any houses there but merely had their gardens and small crops.
Mr. Langton and Mr. Thornley went to work at once to build the first log house in Summit west of the present townsite on the south bank of the creek near the James Sheen farm, or a little southwest of the present condensed milk factory. They returned immediately to Salt Lake City to inform their families and friends and prepare for the move to Cache Valley. At the time, Mr. Thornley was unmarried, but he soon had this important ceremony performed; and the following also arrived at Summit Creek and were the founders of the settlement: Seth Langton and family; Robert Thornley and wife; John Thornley and wife; John G. Smith and wife; Dudley Merrill and wife Virgil Merrill and family; Ezekiel Hopkins and wife; Thomas Mather; Marshall Hunt and wife; Ira Merrill and family; Robert Langton and Mrs. Wamsley, a widow with five sons and one daughter.
The settlers went to work immediately to build their log houses, cut wild hay and make preparations for the winter. As there was not sufficient time before the winter set in, a number lived in dugouts until the next spring when more log houses were built. In the spring of 1860, quite a large number of new settlers arrived. The little settlement centered pretty much around the home of Mr. Seth Langton, who as already stated built the first log house in the colony. At this time the first baby boy, Seth A. Langton, and a little later, Eliza Lemon, the first girl baby, were born in the settlement.
