Our
People:
The people of Beaver county possess a heritage dating back to Joseph
Smith, founder of the Mormon church in 1830. Most of the people
living in Beaver County are descended from the Mormon pioneers sent by
Brigham Young to inhabit this area. Many of the black rock and
pink stone homes built by those pioneers still exist. The Mormon
virtues along with excellent cooking, beautiful quilts and needlework
are still inherent in the everyday life of Beaver County. Our
Cities:
Although small,
our area has a rich history and each town has something to offer.

32 miles west
off I-15, Milford was originally a railroad and mining town. A new,

has a rich mining past. Many of the buildings from times past
can still be seen on Main street.
