Long ago in the 1800s Park City had its humble beginning as a silver mining town during a boom that made 23 millionaires in the US. Park City grew into the early 1900s but the demand for silver declined and so did the population of the town. Park City rebounded during the 80s and 90s following the build of Park City Mountain Resort and has expanded into a tourist hot-spot bringing in around $530 million to the Utah Economy.
