The route of the Utah Pioneers of 1847, and later the Pony Express route, passed over the site of Henefer. It was settled in 1859, by James and William Henefer, for whom the town was named. More settlers joined them in 1866 and a fort was constructed for protection against the Indians. This cabin was erected as a monument to those pioneers.
