History

Park City was incorporated in 1884 after a two decade long silver rush. It continued to prosper as a mining town until the mines shut down in 1949. Nine years later, United Park City mines decided to check out the possibility to tuning it's land into a ski area hence the birth of Treasure Mountain Resort, now known as Park City Mountain Resort.
