More about this memorial. The Bingham City Cemetery is a small cemetery located just east of the town of Copperton, Utah. The town of Bingham City has been swallowed up by the enormous Kennecott Utah Copper open-pit mine. Since space was extremely limited in Bingham Canyon, the cemetery was located in an open area beyond the mouth of the canyon.

The town of Copperton was built between 1926 and the 1950s to house and service mine employees and postdates the placement of this cemetery. It is called the Bingham City Cemetery because those originally interred here from Bingham Canyon were predominently from Bingham City or its "suburbs" of Copperfield, Carr Fork, Highland Boy, and other smaller mining camps.

2. Those Who Died in the Wars
and its environs in Bingham Canyon was comprised primarily of people involved in mining rich mineral deposits. These miners came from many different countries from all over the world. When war broke out, many laid down their picks and shovels, or climbed out of ore haul trucks and giant steam or electric shovels and took up arms in defense of their (sometimes adopted) country. A small number gave their lives for the cause and an even smaller number are buried here. Only seven graves are located in the Veterans Memorial area but more who died in wartime are buried in other plots in this cemetery or cemeteries elsewhere in the world.
