The Uintah and Ouray Agency was established in the Uintah Valley in 1865. It was a continuation of the earlier Spanish Fork-Uintah Valley Agency. Several agents operated under the Utah Superintendency from 1849 to 1870, when the Superintendency was abolished. By 1869, the Uintah Valley Agency was the only one left in Utah and it reported directly to the Office of Indian Affairs in Washington, DC. The name was changed to Uintah and Ouray Agency in 1886. | |||
The Uintah and Ouray Agency primarily had jurisdiction for the Uinta, White River, and Uncompahgre (Tabaquache) Ute Indians. In 1939, the Paiute Agency was also assigned to the Uintah and Ouray Agency. | |||
