Lying 2 miles (3.2 km) east of the city of Ferron, Molen has always been closely associated with Ferron. It was settled as an outgrowth of Ferron beginning about 1878 after Michael Molen brought his cattle and horses into Castle Valley and settled by Ferron Creek. Molen was previously named Lower Ferron.[3]
