It started as a supply stop for the silver mines up the canyon and was incorporated in 1893. Today it is where Real Salt Lake and the Utah Royals play at America First Field, where the Mountain America Expo Center hosts holiday shows, and where the Cottonwood ski resorts are a short drive up the road.
