In commemoration of the Catholic Priest, Father Escalante, who in 1776 came into Utah. He crossed the Green River at Jensen and camped two days at that place. His diary shows that he camped at the junction of the Strawberry and Duchesne rivers one night and then travelled northwest, up through what he called the "Canyon of the Swallows." This is the canyon in which Ivie's Ranch is now located.
This became an important intersection in pioneer days, as distances were reckond from this point.
