Standardville is a ghost town in Carbon County, Utah, United States.

In 1930, 20 miners were killed in a mine explosion caused by carbon monoxide gas.

The town layout was planned with well maintained lawns, bushes, and poplar trees.

[4] On February 6, 1930, an explosion caused by firedamp gas occurred in the Standard mine.

[5] The explosion had a large impact on the mine and community; however, the town continued to grow.

When World War II ended, the demand for coal decreased, and the mine was unable to meet its payroll as a result.

Another coal mining company bought it, and shipments continued a couple months later.
