Juab County, County administrative division in central Utah, United States.
Description
Juab County is an administrative division in central Utah that encompasses varied landscapes including the Tintic Valley and Pahvant Mountain Range. The region contains several municipalities spread across its terrain and sits in the transition zone between the Wasatch Range and the Great Basin.
History
The county was established in 1852 and grew substantially after silver, gold, and copper deposits were discovered in the Tintic region during the 19th century. Mining operations shaped the area's economy and settlement patterns for decades.
Culture
The Tintic Mining District Festival honors the area's mining heritage, while the Juab County Fair brings residents together for livestock shows and community celebrations.
Practical
County government services are based in Nephi and serve residents throughout the area. Plan ahead when visiting, as services and amenities are spread across multiple towns rather than concentrated in one central location.

Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge within the county provides critical habitat for migratory birds and native species in the Great Basin. This protected area serves as a vital stopover for traveling birds and supports rare species adapted to the arid landscape.
