Dillon
Welcome to Dillon, a town with a rich history dating back to 1880! Established when the Utah and Northern Railroad made its way through the area, Dillon's origins began at the ranch of Mr. Deacon, who initially resisted selling his land. On September 13 of that year, the townsite group gathered at Deacon's ranch, and just a days later, the deed was officially recorded, marking the birth of our vibrant community. Explore Dillon's unique heritage and discover how it has grown since those early days!
