Tooele

Tooele County stretches from the Oquirrh Mountains to the Great Salt Lake Desert, encompassing dry basin valleys, broad rangeland and the salt-flat country of western Utah. Its eastern communities lie within reach of Salt Lake City, while the vast western expanse leads toward the Bonneville Salt Flats, a white salt pan renowned for land-speed records. Near the Nevada line, Wendover Airfield recalls World War II, when the 509th Composite Group trained there. Dugway Proving Ground, established by the U.S. Army in 1942, occupies part of the county’s western interior. Ranches and former mining districts give way to open desert.
