"Completion of the Southern Pacific's Lucin Cutoff across western Utah in 1904 bypassed its division point at Terrace, Utah. The new engine terminal was located at Bauvard (or Banvard), about ten miles into Nevada, and a post office opened there in June 1904. Houses were shipped on flatcars from Terrace to help start the new town, and some of the water came from springs to the south at a watering place and campground long used by the Indians and called by them Montello, meaning "rest" in their language.
In 1905 the Southern Pacific created the town of Montello, three miles northeast of Bauvard, as a new division point and soon built shops and a seven-stall rectangular roundhouse. Here freight trains changed crews and helper engines were added for the haul over Pequop summit. The new town acquired stores, saloons, rooming house, hotel, restaurants and the Bauvard post office which officially retained that name until early in 1912). Besides housing railroad personnel and their families, this town of 800 bustled as a shipping point for big cattle outfits and for the Utah Construction Co. which maintained a headquarters here. In the 1920s Montello also served as supply point for the Delano mines, 36 miles north.
Today Montello has a new school, and many of the old original railroad tie buildings are still around. This area is home to some of the best deer hunting around.
