The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Howell lies in the Blue Creek Valley that stretches north-south between four mountain ranges, Promontory Mountains, south, North Promontory Mountains, west, West Hills, northeast, and Blue Spring Hills, southeast. The northeast Great Salt Lake lies to the south of Howell, and north of Howell finds Interstate 84, roughly the area known to locals as Blue Creek. Nomadic Shoshone Indians used the area to travel between the Great Salt Lake and areas to the north.

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Howell has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Golden Spike National Historic Site in Thatcher, 10.4 miles away.
