In the 1920s, Utahs Coal City was planned for 2,600 lots, but only about 200 were sold; the mining company dissolved in 1936

In the early 1920s, George A. Storrs aimed to create a unique mining town in Utah. The planned community was intended for miner-ownership with homes, farms, and essential services. Despite initial excitement, only a small portion of the lots were sold, and the project failed. The Great Western Coal Mines Company went bankrupt in 1936, leading to the town's decline.
