Around Tooele County
Tooele
Tooele is the county seat and holds the valley's main civic and commercial center, with schools, a hospital and shopping. Settlement Canyon rises right above town with a reservoir, trails and picnic grounds. The Tooele Valley Railroad Museum is close by.
Grantsville
Grantsville is a historic ranching and farming town on the west side of the Tooele Valley, at the base of the Stansbury Mountains. South Willow Canyon, just outside town, leads to trailheads, campgrounds and the Deseret Peak Wilderness. The Donner-Reed Museum keeps the story of the pioneer parties that crossed the west desert, and Utah Motorsports Campus is nearby.
Stansbury Park
Stansbury Park is a planned community built around Stansbury Lake, with walking paths, small beaches and homes that back up to the shoreline. It wraps around the Stansbury Park Golf Course. On clear nights, the Salt Lake Astronomical Society opens telescopes to the public at the Stansbury Park Observatory Complex.
Erda
Erda is the wide-open middle of the Tooele Valley, with large lots, pastures and horse property between Tooele and Stansbury Park. It incorporated as a city to protect that rural, low-density character, so there is little commercial development by design. Residents drive a few minutes to Tooele or Stansbury Park for shopping and schools.
