An English emigrant named Lorenzo J. Firth homesteaded some land in the area of what became Firth in the mid-1870's. In 1878, Lorenzo donated a chunk of his land to the railroad so they could build a section house and water tank there. The town of Firth began life as a Swedish settlement in 1885, located around that section house and water tank. The railroad named the station after Lorenzo in 1903. The first post office was opened in 1905. It was around this time that Mormon pioneers began to arrive, enough of them that a local LDS Ward was officially organized in 1924. |
