East Carbon

Founded around coal mining beneath Utah’s Book Cliffs, East Carbon grew into a small Carbon County city shaped by the industry’s company-town era. The settlement was originally known as Dragerton, a community developed by U.S. Steel in the 1940s for coal miners; it adopted the name East Carbon in 1973. In 2014, East Carbon and neighbouring Sunnyside consolidated under the East Carbon name. The Book Cliffs, a long sandstone escarpment across eastern Utah, rise near the city above the surrounding high-desert terrain.
