History
The area now known as Sunnyside, Utah, was first settled in 1879 when George and James Whitmore arrived at the base of the Book Cliff Mountains and established the Whitmore Cattle Ranch. In 1883 the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad extended their line from their railhead at Deseret, to Price, Utah. Along this sixty-mile stretch they established two additional railheads, one in Woodside, and the other twenty miles north, which they named Sunnyside, because it sat on the Sunnyside of the Book Cliff Mountains. This area extended to the base of the Book Cliff Mountains, and included Whitmore’s Ranch. In 1896 coal was discovered in Whitmore Canyon and on July 4, 1898, when the Sunnyside railhead was abandoned by the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, the coal camp located within the walls of Whitmore Canyon was christened with the name of Sunnyside.
Officially incorporated as a town in 1916, with a mayor and four trustees. Until 1994 the mayor was not an elected official, but rather was held by the Superintendent of Mines for Utah Fuel Coal Company and later Kaiser Steel Corporation after they took over in 1950.
Sunnyside’s early history is as colorful and spirited as the men and women who arrived at this desolate area of eastern Carbon County, where for over the next century would be the leader in coal production in Carbon County. The history of coal mining in Sunnyside began shortly after Jefferson Tidwell and his three sons discovered coal in Whitmore Canyon in 1896. By 1898 the Pleasant Valley Coal Company had acquired the rights to the coal from Tidwell and by 1901 the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad with its subsidiary Utah Fuel acquired the operation. For the next fifty years Utah Fuel operated the coal mines in Sunnyside and in 1949 sold its interest to Kaiser Steel Corporation. It was through the financial investments of these companies that turned Tidwell’s merger mining operation into a major coal industry, which became inextricably tied to Sunnyside until its demise ninety years later.
