She grew up in a town called Ferron, Utah. Being geographically stunted when it comes to Utah towns other than Salt Lake City, I googled it. It’s about 2.5 hours south of SLC with a population of 1,626 as of the 2010 census. I’m doubtful it’s grown into a booming metropolis since then but hey, this coming from the ignoramus who’d never even heard of it until 2 minutes ago.
Under, “What is Ferron Utah known for?” I got this: “He agreed to the “dunking” and the creek became known as Ferron’s Creek. Ferron’s Town was settled a few years later and eventually, the “s” was dropped and the town and creek became known as “Ferron”.
Do with that what you will.
The most impressive point of interest I found was under, “Is Ferron Safe?”
The answer: “How would you rate the amount of crime in Ferron? Excellent. There is virtually no crime in this area.”
Okay, I’m so sorry for dragging you down this rabbit hole with me. I found it interesting. Because I’m middle-aged. And don’t get out anymore.
