In the 1880's, a cowboy/prospecter named L.P.Dyer was looking for gold in the high Uintahs; he found a little but there was alot of copper to be had. Alot of mines opened opened up soon afterward and Bullionville sprang up to support the miners. Town prospered until the early 1900's when the copper veins where played out.
