Tooele County, County in western Utah, US
Tooele County extends across 7,286 square miles of terrain with three mountain ranges: Oquirrh, Stansbury, and Cedar Mountains dividing valleys.
The county establishment occurred in 1852, following Mormon pioneers' settlement in an area previously inhabited by Goshute Native Americans.
The territory earned the name Republic of Tooele between 1874 and 1879 when non-Mormon politicians gained control of the local administration.
The Tooele School District manages education throughout the county, with Utah State University maintaining a regional campus for higher education.
The county contains 924 square kilometers of water surfaces and maintains a population density of only 3.2 inhabitants per square kilometer.
