Uinta Springs Settlement

This location, later called Fountain Green, was a favorite camping place for travelers. On September 30, 1853, James Nelson, Wm. Luke, Wm. Reed, and Thos. Clark, while camping here with their ox teams, were killed by Indians. Under direction of Brigham Young in July 1859, George W. Johnson, his son Amos, and a group of pioneers established a settlement. Big Spring, one mile west, supplies this city with water and power and the major part of the electricity for Moroni, Wales, and Levan.
