Garrison, Utah

Garrison is an unincorporated town in Millard County, Utah, United States.

Geography

Garrison is located in the far west central area of the state just east of the Nevada state line. The Great Basin National Park is just a few miles behind or west of this border.

History

Originally founded as a ranching community in the 1850s, the town of Garrison later became the center of mining interests. The name comes from the Garrison family who farmed in the area. After mining interests subsided the Garrisons had a livestock and hay ranch. Mrs. Garrison was a schoolteacher who also handled the mail and the town's name honors her.
