  • A History of Tooele County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    A HISTORY OF Tooele County Compiled by Ouida Blanthorn UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF Tooek County Compiled by Ouida Blanthorn Tooele County is the second-largest county in the state, extending from the ridge line of the Oquirrh Mountains to the state line in the west across a broad portion of northwestern Utah. Human habitation extends back thou­ sands of years to the period of ancient Lake Bonneville. Tooele was one of the first six counties created in Utah and began to be settled as early as 1850 by Mormon pioneers, who made extensive use of the county's rich grazing and timber resources. Tooele County has been known in recent decades for its vast desert expanses, including Bonneville Salt Flats, its mineral resources from both the Great Salt Lake and area moun­ tain ranges, and its uses by the U.S. military for test ranges and various other facilities, including the storage and disposal of chemi­ cal and other weapons. Growth of the county has been rapid in recent years, due in part to its proximity to Salt Lake City, many residents using Tooele County towns as bedroom communities for the Wasatch Front. Controversy currently exists between such residents and those who would expand use of the county for industrial growth and waste disposal, including nuclear- waste repositories.
