Home of the Rush Valley Mining District, Utah's first recorded mining took place in the canyons NW of Stockton. DOGM will be reclaiming these mines as part of their KESSLER project.
"This Brief history of Stockton is a direct result of the Bicentennial year. With the approval of a $1,700.00 grant from the American Revolution Bicentennial commision with which to purchase a lasting monument to the "Old Time" miners of Stockton, the wheels were set in motion. Recalling the many names of the miners, whose names were to be placed on the monument, it soon became apparent that many names long associated with the growth and history of Stockton, were not miners, but ranchers, store keepers, stage drivers, etc. Tere were also many miners of a much later period who had also contributed much to the Stockton mining history. And s the need for a brief account of these people was realized."
This quote is from the introduction of the book. Please take the time to read this facinating book.
I was born and raised in Tooele and I still find so many interesting historical places everytime I go out in my own backyard.
Please enjoy this book and all the interesting facts about the "little-old-town" of Stockton, Utah.
Sign Up with the site and have access to thousands of publications, maps and more mining information.
Thanks,
Johnny
