About Hinckley
At Hinckley, an isolated handful of trees and houses stand surrounded by tracts of farmland in a wide open valley. The Sevier River, passing nearby, brings irrigation water to the area a few miles around. Beyond that, the barrenness of the Sevier Desert stretches nearly to the horizon, where a few distant mountains are visible.
Hinckley was settled in the 1870s and received its name in 1891 in honor of the leader of the local stake of the Mormon Church. As of the year 2000, there are 698 people living at Hinckley. The streets are wide and quiet, and the signs of farming and ranching reach right into the town. U.S. Highways 6 and 50 (combined) pass through the north end of town, heading east to nearby Delta, and west into Nevada.
