Daggett County

Daggett County is an administrative division in northeastern Utah containing mountainous terrain and river valleys. The area features significant water systems and varied topography across its landscape.

Established in 1915, the county was named in honor of a significant figure in Utah's surveying history. This period reflected efforts to organize the state's remote northeastern territories.

The area has deep roots in ranching and farming, visible in the pastoral landscape where cattle and sheep still graze across open land. Life here moves at a slower pace shaped by agricultural seasons and outdoor traditions.

Manila, the administrative center, serves as the main hub for information and services within the area. Visitors should expect limited road access and widely scattered facilities across the territory.

The county spans vast territory where most of the land belongs to the federal government rather than private owners. This gives the area a remote, undeveloped character rare among American counties today.
