Bicknell at a glance
Wayne County · Utah
Bicknell’s name carries a library story. Wayne County’s official community history describes the town’s earlier name, Thurber, and the offer of books by educator Thomas Bicknell that led to a name change in 1916.
That local story sits within Wayne County’s wider agricultural and settlement history. For present-day municipal business, the Utah Public Notice Website provides a dedicated Bicknell Town Council page with notices and available supporting records. Agendas, minutes and audio each record something different, so open the document itself instead of guessing a decision from a meeting title.
