About the area |
Juab County was first formed around 1852 and reduced in subsequent years to its present size. The first pioneers in this county relied mainly on agriculture; however when silver, gold, copper and other precious metals were discovered in the Tintic region around 1869, several mining towns were created and the mining industry here continued until the middle of the 1900's.
