Decades ago, the Eden Valley served as a gateway to the West, welcoming travelers across the Oregon and Mormon Trails. Today, it serves as a gateway to imagination as you discover its native roots. About Eden Valley: Starting with Native Americans, then followed by fur traders, mountain men and western pioneers, the Eden Valley served as a thoroughfare for settlers and passers-through. The town was settled in 1907 when John M. Farson’s large-scale irrigation developments attracted long-term settlers. The promise of fruit orchards was the beginning of the farming and ranching community that still thrives today.
