Midvale: Salt Lake Valley's Historic Smelter Town
Midvale sits in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley along the Jordan River, bordered by Murray to the north and Sandy to the south. The city's nineteenth-century history was tied to ore smelting; the Midvale Smelter complex, operated by the United States Smelting, Refining and Mining Company, processed lead and silver ore from mines in the Oquirrh Mountains and elsewhere. The smelter closed in 1958 and the Sharon Steel mill that followed shut down in the 1970s, leaving contaminated soil that required a decades-long Superfund cleanup.
Bingham Junction, the redevelopment of the former industrial site on Midvale's west side, has produced residential communities, a TRAX light rail stop, and commercial development. Historic Main Street Midvale preserves small-scale commercial architecture from the smelter era. The population currently stands at about 33,000.
