Ibapah, Utah

Ibapah (/ˈaɪbəpɑː/ EYE-bə-pah) is a small unincorporated community in far western Tooele County, Utah, United States, near the Nevada state line.

The site was originally established in 1859 by Mormon missionaries sent to teach the local Native Americans farming methods.

A Pony Express station operated here in 1860 and 1861, and the town was on an early alignment of the Lincoln Highway.

Ibapah is currently inhabited mostly by Goshute people, with scattered farmlands and a trading post belonging to more recent settlers.

The climate is typical of that of a high elevation Great Basin location, being semi-arid and featuring, in consequence, large differences in temperature between day and night.
