About Carbon County:

Carbon County covers 1,476 square miles with a population of 21,462 (2010 Census) and received its name from the vast amount of coal found in the region. During the early 1880s the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, seeking a route from Denver to Salt Lake City, discovered and opened up the vast coal lands of Carbon County. Coal mining became the major catalyst for development in the county. Coal companies often built and ran towns in Carbon County and imported many southern and eastern European and Japanese laborers to work in the coal mines and on railroad gangs….Coal mining continues to play a vital role in the county’s economic and social development…

Carbon County is located in Southeastern Utah on the Colorado Plateau. It is at the junction of the Wasatch Range and the San Rafael Swell and thus both mountain and desert terrain are available within a few miles of each other. Price City, the largest town and county seat, with a population of 8,039 people, is at an elevation of 5500 feet, and was incorporated in 1911. It is a county both difficult and diverse and it is through here the majestic Green River flows on its way to meet the mighty Colorado River not far south.
