Faust Station
After migrating to America, Henry settled on a remote Pony Express stop in Rush Valley which became known as Faust Station. In early 1861 it was the site of a shootout between outlaw Lot Elisha Huntington (1834-1862) and famous Mormon lawman Porter Rockwell.
The community was founded by Henry J. Faust (born Heinrich Jacob Faust), a Mormon immigrant from Germany. In 1860 he managed Faust Station on the Pony Express trail. He later bought the property for his ranch.[3] In 1870 Henry Faust and his wife moved to Salt Lake City. Faust has been used by the Union Pacific Railroad to house workers on the site. The area is popular with campers, mountain bikers, off-road vehicle enthusiasts, and hikers during the summer months. Henry J. Faust was an ancestor of James E. Faust.
