==History==
A party of 22 men came to the Antimony area in 1873 on a mission to make peace with the local Fish Lake band of Indians. They caught several [[coyote]] pups here, and named the place ''Coyote''. The first permanent settlement was established, under the name of Coyote, in 1878. In 1880, deposits of the [[antimony]] ore [[stibnite]] were found in Coyote Canyon, and a mining industry began. This resulted in the town's renaming, in 1921, to ''Antimony''.<ref name=names>{{cite book | last = Van Cott | first = John W. | title = Utah Place Names | year = 1990 | publisher = [[University of Utah Press]] | location = Salt Lake City | page = 11 | isbn = 0-87480-345-4}}</ref>

==Fireworks==
