Copperton, Utah

Copperton, Utah

Copperton is a CDP and township in Salt Lake County, Utah, United States, located at the mouth of Bingham Canyon, about 17 miles southwest of Salt Lake City. The township boundaries (designated by the county) include a greater area than that of the CDP (designated by the U.S. Census), extending to the county line on the west.

History

Copperton was established in 1926, by the Utah Copper Company as a residential area for its employees. Today it is home to approximately 800 residents and is the only mining town remaining for the Bingham Canyon Mine after Lark was torn down in 1980. Currently, only a handful of residents work for the mine. The town’s history is directly linked to the mine.
