Topic: Emery County


  
  WaterHistory.org
Emery County is a dramatically varied region in east-central Utah, ranging in elevation from under 4,000 feet in the depths of Labyrinth Canyon on the Green River to well above 10,000 feet on the higher ridges of the Wasatch Plateau to the west.
The settlement of Emery County is traditionally dated to August 22, 1877, when President Brigham Young of the LDS church sent a letter to Sanpete Stake President Canute Peterson calling for "at least fifty families" to colonize Castle Valley during the fall of that year.
The new colonies grew steadily, and Emery County was established by the 1880 territorial legislature.
