KELTON

Kelton (Box Elder) was twenty miles off the northwest corner of the Great Salt Lake. It was originally on the Central Pacific Railroad as a stage and freighting station, with hotels, saloons, post office, and homes. After the Lucin Cutoff was built across the lake, Kelton faded into a ghost town. It had an early name of Indian Creek. The settlement was named after a Mr. Kelton, a local cattleman.
