History

While explorers first visited present-day Beaver County in the 1776 Dominguez-Escalante Expedition, the county was created by the Utah territorial legislature from a section of Iron County on January 5, 1856 when Latter-day Saint settlers founded the city of Beaver, Utah. The county was named after the animal which was plentiful there.
