About Superior

Located just northeast of Rock Springs in Sweetwater County, Superior is a quiet community shaped by its boomtown past. During the coal-mining rush of the early 1900s, thousands of miners flocked to Horse Thief Canyon, quickly turning a rough tent camp into a bustling town. Today, Superior is home to under 200 residents who enjoy wide-open desert skies, a peaceful pace of life, and close ties to the region's history. Landmarks like the restored Union Hall keep that heritage alive, while nearby Rock Springs provides easy access to everyday conveniences.
