History

Coalville was officially founded in 1859 and incorporated in 1867. ¹ The settlement was originally known as Chalk Creek, but was renamed Coalville after coal was discovered in the area in 1858. ¹ Coal mining became a major industry, with hundreds of tons shipped to Salt Lake City, and a narrow gauge railroad was built to transport coal and later to serve Park City's silver mines. ¹
