John D. Barton writes about the history of Duchesne County, Utah in the Utah Centennial County History Series.
"Duchesne County, in the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah, was opened for homesteading in 1905, the last region in the state settled by Euro-Americans, and among the last settled areas in the continental United States. Its history is a microcosm of that of the West, featuring various groups of Native Americans, Spanish explorers, fur trappers, outlaws, cowboys, miners, and freighters. It was made part of the Uintah Ute Indian Reservation in 1861."
