The construction of the Union Pacific Railroad was the most important event in the development of this area. The tracks came into Wyoming Territory in 1867. Many towns, now vanished, preceded the graders, bridge builders, tie hacks, and gandy dancers. Gone are Hampton, Elmhurst, Bridger Station, Antelope Station, Leroy, Piedmont, Aspen and Altamonte Stations, Tapioca, Bear Town, Spring Valley, Hilliard City and Mills. Their importance to the permanence of Uinta County will long be remembered.
