Keeping up with the goings on of the members of the Snyder family
The Grandparents Snyder
Snyderville, Utah - A bit of our family's history
Snyderville is four miles northwest of Park City. It was settled in 1865 by J. M. Grant, H. C. Kimball, and Samuel C. Snyder, who developed mine holdings and a sawmill in the area. After the Overland Stage went through this area, it became known as Snyders Station and later Snyderville, for G. G. Snyder, the younger brother of Sam. G. G. was a probate judge who named Park City.
