Snyderville Basin

The Snyderville Basin is a valley in Summit County, Utah adjacent to Park City.

Lumber was one of the area's earliest economic drivers as were stagecoach, mail, and hospitality services along the major east-west travel corridor that passed through Kimball Junction, named for stagecoach impresario William Henry Kimball.

[4] In the 1870s, silver was discovered in Park City, and the Snyderville area became economically integrated into the adjacent boom town.

Though many people and businesses are currently located in the area that was once the settlement of Snyderville, there is no actual town center and no independent governance.

The area has several residential neighborhoods, a convenience store, an elementary school, a nursery, a small office park, and some farm land.
