Editing New Harmony, Utah (section)

==History==
The town was originally settled as part of efforts to mine and refine [[iron]] in the area. Settlers built a crude foundry in 1852, but abandoned it soon after due to transport and logistics issues. [http://utahrails.net/articles/iron-mountain.php]

The town of New Harmony was settled in 1862, by families driven from [[Fort Harmony, Utah|Fort Harmony]] when the fort had to be abandoned after most of its adobe walls were washed away during a month of heavy rains in January and February, during the [[Great Flood of 1862]].<ref>[http://utahhistory.sdlhost.com/#/item/000000055000141/view/191 Janet Burton Seegmiller, A History of Iron County, Community Above Self; Utah Centennial County History Series: The Face and Faces of Iron County; Physical Characteristics; Ancient Peoples; Explorers, Traders, Trappers and Expeditions; Utah State Historical Society, Iron County Commission, 1998]</ref>{{rp|174}}
