Julius Jacobsen Opens Blacksmith Shop

“History of the Town of Cokeville”

Before 1900 came many others seeking opportunity in the agricultural profession and the support of it. In 1883 Julius C.

He started with a dollar and a half in his pocket, but by honest workmanship soon built a flourishing business and a comfortable home, for this was the first place of its kind west of Rawlins on the Oregon Trail, the road still used by travelers to the northwest.
