Return to Utah Wiki Project Main Page

Task Description[edit | edit source]

Add information to the History area, located under Quick Facts on each county page.

Where to find the information[edit | edit source]

Several sites are loaded with information about the history of Utah's counties. For this task, however, we will use only Wikipedia as the resource. (Otherwise, this task will mushroom out of proportion at the expense of completing other tasks.) Also, information in Wikipedia can be used without copyright issues in FamilySearch Research Wiki.

To use Wikipedia, simply do a Google search for the name of the county and select the Wikipedia article.

Before you begin your timeline:
1) copy the following paragraph and paste it to the county page:

NOTE: Unless otherwise mentioned, the events below were gleaned from Wikipedia for

2) Add the name of the county with a link to the Wikipedia article for that county. (See Tooele County for an example.)

What to add[edit | edit source]

A History in Timeline format[edit | edit source]

See Timeline Example below.

Putting the history in Timeline format lets users to scan for the years that affected their ancestors. It also makes it easy for writers to insert events between years.

Please keep event descriptions very short. The computer screen is not like reading a book or an article in a magazine.

In reality, it may never be "complete." Whatever you add will be a great improvement.

Please include events that affected records, or record-keeping, such as:

  • Settlement and migration into or out of the county. This can include an influx of settlers from specific countries, such as Scandinavians, or religious groups.
  • County formation and boundary changes. (This is given elsewhere for each county, but should also be in the timeline, since it is a great summary of major events over the years.)
  • County buildings where officers created and stored the records. What did they use before a courthouse was built?
  • Fires, floods, and other natural disasters that destroyed the records or changed where they were stored.
  • Crop damage or mining incidents that led to booms, busts, and ghost settlements.
  • Whatever you find that is interesting and will help users know what affected migrations, records, and record-keeping.


Books and Internet Sites for County History
If you find an internet site or a book you want to tell people about, please place them under Local Histories, which appears further down on the county page under the Resources heading.

An Interesting fact[edit | edit source]

Although you start by filling out a timeline history, you will likely find a fact or event that is unique to the county and interesting to users.

  • For example, "Hole the Rock, the hideout of the famous gang of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, is in this county."
    • Note: If you added an example like this, users would benefit if you included a link to the Internet for Hole in the Rock, Butch Cassidy, and Sundance Kid.

Timeline Example:[edit | edit source]

The timeline needs to be to the point and easy to scan (by users) and to insert events (by writers).

Please use a bulleted list arranged by date with the year first. Then type a brief description of the event, such as:

  • 1849 October. The first Latter-day Saint settlers arrived in (add name of town or area)
  • 1850. (name of county) was established as an original county in Utah Territory. It included the entire area west to the California border, which is now in Nevada.
  • 1852. 85 families lived in the areas of (add names of places)
  • 18__. Nevada Territory was formed, decreasing the size of this county.
  • 18__. The first courthouse was built.
(NOTE: The above timeline is fictitious and given as a formatting example only.)

For an example, see Tooele County.
