Named for the Blacks Fork River, it was a logging town that operated from 1870 to 1930.

[2][3] Blacks Fork was established in 1870 as a logging camp that supplied lumber to the railroad and mining industries.

[2] Tradition says that the town also served as a military commissary during the early part of its history,[4] but Utah ghost towns researcher Stephen Carr concluded that "...this suggestion is very unlikely," citing the camp's remote location and harsh climate, as well as the fact that an army post called "Blacks Fork" already existed near Bryan, Wyoming.
