| This railroad station town went through several name changes. Originally called Irontown, the water here had a rusty taste. It was later changed to Merino, reflecting a breed of sheep favored by sheepherders in the area. Finally, the town received its current name, Upton, from a Burlington Railroad surveyor, George S. Upton. | ||||||||||||||||||
