The settlement is located near the [[Deep Creek Mountains]]. The site was originally established in 1859 by [[Mormon]] missionaries sent to teach the local Native Americans farming methods. A [[Pony Express]] station operated here in 1860 and 1861, and the town was on an early alignment of the [[Lincoln Highway]]. A post office operated here from 1883 to 1980. Ibapah is currently inhabited mostly by [[Goshute people]], with scattered farmlands and a trading post belonging to more recent settlers. The community is the headquarters of the [[Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation]], a [[federally recognized tribe]].
Originally named '''Deep Creek''' for a creek of the same name in the area, the name was later changed to ''Ibapah'', an anglicized form of the [[Goshute language|Goshute]] word ''Ai-bim-pa'' which means "White Clay Water".<ref>{{cite book | last = Van Cott | first = John W. | title = Utah Place Names | year = 1990 | publisher = [[University of Utah Press]] | location = Salt Lake City, Utah | page = 197 | isbn = 0-87480-345-4}}</ref>
