Tooele
Pioneer Park -Created in 1976 to honor the first families who made
camp near the mouth of Settlement Canyon on Sept. 2, 1849 and began
the settlement of Tooele City. Those families were John Rowberry,
his wife and five children; Josiah Call, his wife and one child;
Cyrus Tolman, his wife and two children; Judson Tolman, his wife
and one child; Orson Bravett, his wife and five children; Captain
Wright, his wife and one boy; and F. X. Lougy, Samuel Mecham, Robert
Skelton and Ben Tolman. Those first families made a meager encampment
of homes and endured a difficult winter before spring arrived and
they could begin to grow crops. The park features picnic and playground
facilities.
