History
The Western Shoshone were some of the first inhabitants of the area. They called the area Anga-we-ya-dye, meaning “Where the red berries grow”
Huntsville was founded in 1860 by Jefferson Hunt. An LDS ward was organized there in 1877 with Francis Hammond as Bishop, and he was succeeded in 1885 by David McKay. This David McKay was the father of David O. McKay, later president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A Trappist monastery, the Abbey of Our Lady of the Holy Trinity, was established there in 1947, and closed after 70 years in 2017. The Shooting Star Saloon, the oldest continuously operating bar west of the Mississippi, is located in the town. It opened in 1879. It is known for the off-menu Star Burger: two patties with cheese, Polish knackwurst, and bacon.
