Beginning as a gathering place for the Ute and Shoshone people of the Great Basin, then a mining boom town, and now a center of excellence for Olympians, artists, and outdoor enthusiasts from across the globe, Park City’s story has always been one of rebirth and renewal. That legacy lives today in the stories that rest in the heritage sites and historic lands woven throughout and surrounding the town.
The history of Park City, Utah goes back to the 1800s when this was a busy mining city and is said to have been discovered by prospecting soldiers of the United States Army. It went on being known for no other activity but mining until about 1920 when skiing became a popular sport and Park City, Utah got a shot in the arm, becoming a popular skiing destination.
Come the 20th century and the Park City you know today is a famous recreational facility with the old mines being turned into tourist attractions giving the city a shot in the arm. The Park City resorts today are among the best ski areas in the entire Unites States giving this city a new life altogether as many world class travelers ski here every year.
