While helping survey the route of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1867, General John A. Rawlins, Chief of Staff of the U. S. Army, expressed a wish for a drink of good, cold water. A detachment of scouts explored the countryside and discovered a spring. General Rawlins declared it was the most refreshing drink he had ever tasted and exclaimed, "If anything is ever named after me, I hope it will be a spring of water." The commander of the party immediately named the spring "Rawlins Springs" and the community which grew around it bore the same name. Later shortened to Rawlins, the town was incorporated in 1886, and designated the seat of Carbon County. The county's name was derived from the extensive coal deposits found in the area. The county is traversed by the historic Overland Trail and both the original route of the Union Pacific railroad and Lincoln Highway.
