History:
The county was formed in
1852, including portions of what is now Nevada. The size was reduced
in 1854 and 1856 along with various other changes through the years
until Juab County finally stabilized its borders. The first real
settlement came about 1851 with Mormon settlers who set up their
community at the Nephi area, near Salt Creek. They relied mainly on
agriculture for their livelihoods. In 1869, silver, gold, copper and
other precious metals were discovered in the Tintic region. Many
mining towns, such as Diamond, Silver City and Eureka popped up
during this era. By 1899, it was considered to be one of the richest
mining districts in the entire nation. Mining continued into the
mid-1900's with the operations scaling down through the rest of the
century.
The name is from an
Indian word meaning thirsty valley or just valley.
