Golden is a ghost town in Box Elder County, Utah, United States.

It is located 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Park Valley, near the southern base of the Raft River Mountains.

[1] In 1899 and 1900, several gold ore-rich strikes were made in the Raft River Mountains, and the principal camp that grew around them was named Golden.

[1][2] As the mining progressed, the ore changed from gold to silver, with quantities of up to 1,000 ounces (28 kg) per ton.

[2] In 1910, several mines reopened, and the town had a short resurgence, then a boom in 1920, when a silver-rich ore was struck in Vipont.
