Old Town Park City Utah History ♦ Past & Present
Old Town Park City is well represented by its name. Old Town is the original Park City area and holds its own unique history. In 1862, the US soldiers entered Utah to protect the federal mail route. Many of these soldiers were veterans of gold mines in other states. Because of their experience as miners, they identified the mountains and real estate of Utah as the promise of precious metals. In December of 1868, the first mining claim was filed and Park City quickly became famous and our history began. Miners came from many countries. Certainly, no one ever dreamed of present-day Park City which is home to Deer Valley Resort and America's largest ski resort, Park City Mountain. And don't forget the venue for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, which hosted guests from all over the world.

In Park City, success was enjoyed by few, but produced by many; fortunes were made and lost in real estate land mining, ultimately making millionaires of twenty-three men and women. In 1872, one of Park City's silver mines called the Ontario Mine was sold to George Hearst for $27,000. He ran the mine well and it went on to produce fifty million dollars in the following years. Although mining is gone, today great deals can be made in buying and selling Park City real estate in Old Town and Main Street.
