History of copperton

Population: 829

Copperton is a small bedroom community nestled in Bingham Canyon in the western valley of Salt Lake.


  • Copperton was established by the Utah Copper Company in 1926 to provide housing and a “model City” for its employees. It emerged as a “showplace for company-subsidized family life.” 
  • Copperton is the only mining town remaining for the Bingham Canyon Mine after Lark was torn down in 1980. Currently, only a handful of residents work for the mine.

Historic Bingham High School

Copperton is the original home of Bingham High School.  The school welcomed its first students in 1912. From its beginning, Bingham High’s colors were royal blue and white, and it was only natural that its nickname was the “Miners.”
