Park City History

Park City was incorporated as a city in 1884. More than $400 million in silver was mined from the hills surrounding Park City in its mining heyday, creating 23 millionaires, including George Hearst, father of newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst. Today, Park City is a unique blend of the old and new. Sixty-four of Park City's buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, many of which are located along the town's Main Street, and more than 1,200 miles of tunnels wind through the surrounding mountains, remnants of the mining era.
