Located deep in Utahs west desert near the Nevada border is the famous mining camp of Gold Hill. The town was established in 1892 and was named after a gold bearing mountain just east of the town. Gold Hill became famous for its location of many minerals including silver, gold, copper, lead, tungsten, and arsenic. The town boomed and died several times in its existence. The first boom lasted for a decade until its richest mines were worked out and the town was nearly abandoned. During World War I arsenic was badly needed and Gold Hill was just the location to find the mineral.
The mines were reopened and new mills were built, and in 1917 the Deep Creek Railroad was built into Gold Hill and the town quickly bloomed. Over 3,000 people lived and worked here. It's stores, saloons, school, pool hall, and newspaper all flourished. A United States post office operated at Gold Hill as well.
When WWI ended arsenic was no longer needed and the town once again died. WWII reawakened the town due to the high demand of tungsten used in steel and electric filaments. Tons of the mineral was shipped out until the need slowed and Gold Hill dwindled once again. In 1940 the last train rails were tore up and sold for scrap. During the 1940s several mines were reopened and were mined for arsenic. This was only temporary and in 1946 the schoolhouse was locked for the last time and the post office was finally closed in 1949.
The unincorporated town shares the common history of many mining boom-bust towns: precious or economically viable metals and minerals were discovered, people flocked to make their fortune, services followed, and when the ore ran out, so did the towns inhabitants. Whats left of Gold Hills boom days are stories, building foundations, some town structures, original-family seasonal cabins, and one still-operating mining outfit. Today many structures still stand allowing you the opportunity to view into the town's past.
