California passed near here on what became
known as Mormon Immigrant Trail.

PONY EXPRESS HISTORY
“This was the site of Sportsman’s Hall, also known as Twelve-Mile House.
The hotel operated in the late 1850’s and 1860’s by John and James Blair, a
stopping place for stages and teams of the Comstock. It became a relay
station of the Central Overland Pony Express here at 7:40 A.M., April 4, 1860.
Pony rider William (Sam) Hamilton, riding in from Placerville, handed the
express mail to Warren Upson who, two minutes later, sped on his way
eastward.”
