About the City of Beaver Utah
A Colorful History
Settled in 1856 by Mormon Pioneers, Beaver City is
today home to an estimated 2,511 residents and
roughly 500 more outside the city boundaries.
Situated 200 miles south of Salt Lake City along
Interstate 15, Beaver is the County Seat and the
largest city in the county.
Beaver is also the birthplace of two very famous
individuals of the past, Philo T. Farnsworth, the
inventor of television and Butch Cassidy, the
notorious western outlaw.
Some of the most beautiful scenery in the West can
be found near this tranquil agricultural community and
outdoor wonderland. The high alpine vistas of the
Tushar Mountains, which includes Delano Peak
(seventh highest peak in Utah at 12,169 ft.), are to
the East.
Color Country, encompassing Bryce, Zions and the
other National Parks lies just a few miles to the South.
To the West, are the Mineral Mountains, a favorite of
rockhounders, and the Minersville Reservoir State
Recreation Area great for fishing.
