==Points of interest==
The area became a popular tourist stop because of the [[Utah Hot Springs, Utah|natural hot springs]] located in its north western corner that lies adjacent to [[Box Elder County, Utah|Box Elder County]]. The Utah Hot Springs Resort was created at the site in the 1880s. During its peak, the facility offered visitors bathing and swimming pools, a hotel with 40 rooms, a dance hall, and a saloon where a mug of beer could be bought for five cents. The facility no longer exists.
