Hatton, Utah

Hatton, formerly Petersburg, is an unincorporated community and near-ghost town in Millard County, Utah, United States.

[2]: 166  The settlement was sometimes called Lower Corn Creek but was named Petersburg for Peter Robison, later its first postmaster.

Boyce succeeded Anson Call as Indian agent at Corn Creek, appointed by Brigham Young.

Petersburg was one of the larger stations and rest stops on the Gilmer and Salisbury Stage Company line from the Utah Southern Railroad rail-head in Juab County to the mining boom town of Pioche, Nevada from 1864 to 1871.

Between 1867 and 1869, most of its inhabitants moved upstream to build the town of Kanosh at the original Pahvant village site.
