History
Copperton was established in 1926, by the Utah Copper Company as a residential area and "model city" for its employees. It emerged as a "showplace for company-subsidized family life." Housing construction ended in the 1930s, and company-furnished housing ended in 1955. After that, a private real estate developer managed the homes for employees.[2] A rather large park was also built in the small town.
As of the 2010 Census, Copperton has a population of 826. Copperton is the only mining town remaining for the Bingham Canyon Mine after Lark was torn down in 1980. Currently, only a handful of residents work for the mine. The town's history is directly linked to the mine.
The 2017 American Community Survey reported the population at 579.
In 2015, the township's residents voted to incorporate and become a metro township.
As of May 2024, Copperton has reverted to town status.
