Lark, Utah

Lark is a ghost town located 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Herriman in the Oquirrh Mountains of southwest Salt Lake County, Utah, United States.

The discovery of gold in Bingham Canyon in 1863 brought a rush of prospectors, two of whom were named Dalton and Lark.

[5][6] The company wanted the land to dump large quantities of overburden from nearby Bingham Canyon Mine.

[3] Lark's most famous citizen was Vina Fay Wray, who portrayed Ann Darrow in the 1933 movie King Kong.

As a child Wray lived in two locations in Salt Lake City, and also in Lark, before her family moved to Los Angeles.
