Gold Hill is an unincorporated community in far western Tooele County, Utah, located near the Nevada state line.
The town, located near the Deep Creek Mountains, was the center of a mining district that was active in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, producing gold, copper, arsenic, silver, lead and tungsten.
After the rich copper and gold mines were worked out, the area enjoyed a resurgence when World War I created a demand for arsenic.
A smaller period of growth occurred during World War II, after which mining was discontinued.
[6] According to a United States Geological Survey (USGS) report published in 1935, the property was owned at the time by Western Utah Copper Company.
