Kenilworth real photo post cards
Three real photo post cards of Kenilworth, Utah. Views of company town (houses all in a row) and mill circa 1916. Like many communities in Carbon County, Kenilworth began as a coal mining camp. Coal was first discovered in the area in 1904, and the town site was laid out in 1908. The name Kenilworth was given by British miners who thought the mountain peaks overlooking the area resembled the spires of Kenilworth Castle. Today the mine is shut down and the town is in decline. These three photo post cards are a glimpse into Kenilworth's riches of the past.City: KenilworthCounty: CarbonState: UT
