Amalga is
a small agricultural community on Hwy 218 three miles west of
Smithfield. It was
first settled in 1860
(or others say, 1869) by Hans Jorgensen. When the
Amalgamated
Sugar Company built a sugar beet processing plant there, the name was changed
to
Amalga.
"The first to make a home here were
Hans Jorgensen and family. Acting on the
advice of Stake President William B. Preston, in 1869
Jorgensen obtained a
supply of lumber and with ox teams set out to find a new home.
He was taken over
the river on the Reese ferry which was near the place where
Melvin Ballard's barn
now stands. He drove about three miles north, chose a location
by a natural spring,
and set up a lumber shanty, probably the first home made there
by white people.
"Then began the difficult task of reclaiming the desert. Since
there were no near
neighbors, the settlers had to be entirely self-sustaining.
The towns were miles away
on the opposite side of the river. There was range for the
animals, but they must be
watched continually to protect them from wild beasts. Sheds
and corrals must be
built. Brush and willows were used to advantage. The land must
be cleared and
cultivated. Water could not be obtained for irrigation. The
river banks were high.
Water for the home and for the garden must be carried in
buckets from the spring."
