Sutherland, UT

Sutherland is a census-designated place in northeastern Millard County, Utah, United States. The 2020 census counted 147 residents. In 1909, a tract of thousands of acres of land northwest of the new city of Delta became available for agricultural settlement, under the terms of the Carey Act. Settlers began to cluster around the property of Myron Abbott, regarded as founder of the community, which was known early on as North Tract or West Delta. The through line in Sutherland is the way its history and present-day settings remain visible on the same map. Sutherland makes the most sense through those concrete details, with its history still visible in the settings people use today. Sutherland is one of a number of small farming communities in the area, including Woodrow and Sugarville just to the north.
