Fountain Green City, nestled in a beautiful high mountain valley near the geographic center of Utah, has a rich history that began with its founding by Mormon pioneers. Originally known as “Uintah Springs,” the community adopted the name Fountain Green when its first post office opened in 1860 and later became an incorporated city in 1910. Proud of its agricultural roots, especially its early sheep-ranching industry, Fountain Green is best known today for its beloved annual Lamb Day celebration each July, where visitors gather for parades, lamb judging, family activities, a closed-pit barbecue, and the famous lamb sandwiches.

Today, Fountain Green is recognized as a peaceful, family-oriented community that attracts newcomers seeking a safe and rural lifestyle. With its reliable natural spring, clean culinary water, and scenic 6,000-foot elevation, the city offers a comfortable semi-arid climate featuring snowy winters, warm summers, and a growing season of about 150 frost-free days. While some areas experience higher water tables during wet years, the city enjoys minimal flood risk, making it a welcoming place to live, grow, and enjoy the charm of central Utah.
