Torrey is the gateway community for Capitol Reef National Park -- just eight miles to the east. The town was established in the 1880s by Mormon settlers, and was initially known as Youngtown, after John William Young; it is generally held to be named after Jay L. Torrey from Pittsfield, Illinois. More @Wikipedia
