Park City Mountain Resort - Mining History

After completion of the railroad at Promontory in 1869, large-scale mining became feasible, and with large-scale mining came the problem of housing the miners. The Snyder sawmill, which had supplied much of the lumber to build Salt Lake City, had a bonanza of its own. The lush forests, which gave name to Parley's Park and Park City, were cut to build boarding houses like these.
