Welcome to Bicknell

Bicknell is a small town along State Route 24, in Wayne County, Utah with a population of about 300 people.  Bicknell was originally called Thurber for A.K. Thurber but in 1914 Thomas W. Bicknell, a wealthy eastern author, historian, and Education Commissioner for Rhode Island, offered a thousand-volume library to any Utah town that would rename itself after him.
