Ferron was originally populated by [[Mormon]] settlers in 1877. Three families responded to a call from the LDS Church asking to settle in the Castle Valley. They started on 15 November 1877 and arrived about 21 days later. The group spent time creating dugouts and later made their living in farming.
Although settled in late 1877, the town received its name sometime in the late 1860s to early 1870s when a government surveyor was sent under the homestead act to survey the area. The surveyor's name was Augustus D Ferron, and, as the tale goes, they agreed to name the creek they camped by Ferron's Creek if he would agree to a "dunking" in the creek. He did so, and the creek was then known as Ferron's Creek. Later, when the town was settled, the "s" was dropped from the name, and the creek and town became known as "Ferron".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ferroncity.org/history.htm|title=Ferron City History|website=ferroncity.org|access-date=2 Dec 2016}}</ref>
