Wendover is a city on the western edge of Tooele County, Utah, United States.

Today it serves as a frontage road between Wendover and Knolls just to the south of the Interstate.

However, the line was not utilized until January 25, 1915, when the first transcontinental telephone call was made to coincide with the opening of the Panama Pacific Exposition.

[8] From 1917 to 1939, a Western Pacific subsidiary known as the Deep Creek Railroad also operated into Wendover.

During World War II, the nearby Wendover Army Air Field (later known as the Wendover Air Force Base) was a training base for bomber pilots, including the crew of the Enola Gay.

[11] The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution permitting Wendover to leave Utah and join Nevada in 2002, but the bill was stalled in the U.S. Senate and did not become law.

[16] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.4 square miles (16.7 km2), all land.

The cities' location east of the Ruby Mountains makes them the driest in the Great Basin, averaging only 4.58 inches or 116 millimetres of precipitation per year, or about half that of nearby Ely or Elko.
