Carbon County, County division in eastern Utah, United States.
Carbon County encompasses 1,485 square miles of land between the Wasatch Range and Book Cliffs, with Price serving as its administrative center.
The county formed in 1894 following the construction of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad and the discovery of coal deposits in the 1880s.
The mining industry development transformed Carbon County into the most diverse region in Utah, with multiple ethnic communities establishing their presence.
The area contains numerous outdoor recreation spots, including mountain biking paths, hiking routes, camping grounds, and fishing locations across different elevations.
Downtown Helper maintains its original storefronts from the mining era, now housing art galleries and restaurants that open for monthly cultural events.
