Why this spot
1912-1969 coal company town
Founded in 1912 by Jesse Knight as Storrs, a dry Mormon company town that had 1,000 residents, a hotel and a heated pool by 1924 and was among Utah's top coal producers. Demand fell after 1946, the mine closed in 1969 and the business district was demolished in 1975.View source →
