Origin Notes and History of Egin
References to Egin that document the origin of its place name
FORT HENRY, Fremont County.—This was the first American trading post erected in the Columbia River basin, and consisted of a log cabin built on the north fork of Snake River in the fall of 1810 by Andrew Henry for the Missouri Fur Company as a place to carry on a traffic with the Indians. From this incident the stream is sometimes called Henry's Fork of the Snake River. The fort was isolated and the trappers were unable to obtain supplies, and the winter proved quite severe, causing the party to abandon this post in 1811. It was situated where the town of Egin now stands.—CHITTENDEN, American Fur Trade.
