Echo, UT - History


We would like to provide the residents of  Echo  a basic history overview.


Welcome to the Echo Home page. The Echo Home page provides as much information as possible on Echo. Knowing Echo’s history is essential to guiding its future. Within Echo’s Home page, you will also find Echo’s Founders, Holiday, and Birthday sections.

Echo has a population of 44. 50% of Echo’s inhabitants are Male, and 50 are female. 70.5% of Echo is married and 100% own their own home. Echo’s Ethnic is the following: White(100%).


Echo originated as a stopover along the Mormon trail. Later the town served as a junction between the First transcontinental railroad and a spur line to serve silver mines near Park City. Since the creation of U.S. Highways Echo has served as a highway junction, where the main road coming from Wyoming splits with one branch proceeding towards Salt Lake City, continuing towards San Francisco, California, and the other towards Ogden, continuing to Portland, Oregon.


Originally the main highway was numbered U.S. Route 30S and the branch was U.S. Route 530; the modern freeway equivalents are numbered Interstate 80 and Interstate 84. Echo was significant to the Union Pacific Railroad. The town served as a coaling and watering station for trains entering Echo Canyon.


From Echo, helper locomotives were added, when needed, to push trains up the steep grade to Wahsatch. A large coaling tower and many other railroad infrastructures existed in and around the town. Echo saw the most action during World War II. The introduction of diesel power, especially after the war, negated the need for the services previously required by steam.


The coaling tower, most trackage, and structures were removed. Echo had faded by the sixties, yet was still alive by the junction of two major highways. However, the arrival of the interstate relegated the town to a few quaint buildings; some homes, a motel, restaurant and bus station. A tavern sells cigarettes, food, and beer.


Nearby; Echo Canyon is a magnificent spectacle with its high rock sides and colorful scenery. The canyon begins just east of Echo and ends outside of Wahsatch, Utah.
