The exact date when burials began at Bingham City Cemetery is not known. According to town board minutes, the cemetery was created in 1913. One tombstone was found documenting a death date of 1873 and several others give death dates of 1879. The earliest documented birth is in 1824.

Bingham City was disincorporated in 1971. By law, maintenance of the cemetery was turned over to the largest state agency operating within the city limits, that being Jordan School District. The records they inherited were threadbare, incomplete and highly inaccurate.

Before being swallowed by the open pit coppermine (Kennecott); the city of Bingham was located just below Utah Copper/Kennecott Copper Mines in a small mountain pass. Mining was done at the top of the mountain and along the ridgeline above where the homes were built. Bingham City itself was incorporated in 1904, but it is clear that burials in this cemetery were taking place well before that.

Bingham City Cemetery, also referred to by some locals as the “Kennecott Copper Cemetery” consists mainly of past residents of towns or camps that used to be up the canyon. They were all mining towns - and have since been removed in favor of the copper mine. These towns - known as Bingham Canyon, Carr Fork, Copperfield, Copperhill, Copperton, Dinkeyville, Freeman Gulch, Frogtown, Highland Boy, Lark, Leadmine, Lower Main, Phoenix, and Telegraph - mostly do not exist. (The only one that still does is Copperton - with around 250 residents.)

43 known War Veterans are buried at this cemetery, including those who fought in the Civil War, Spanish American War, World War I and II, Korean and Vietnam War. In addition, many of the people buried in the Bingham City cemetery are from more than 30 countries and 38 states within the U.S. This cemetery is known for having one of the most diverse, multi ethnic backgrounds in the Salt Lake valley. Burials were found from various areas of the world including Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cuba, Denmark, England, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Macedonia, Mexico, Montenegro, Norway, Nova Scotia, Puerto Rico, Poland, Russia, Scotland, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Wales, Yugoslavia and 38 states within the United States.

When you think about it, These people braved crossing the ocean and then found their way across the United States in search of employment at Utah Copper and Kennecott Copper Mines. They helped settle the valley and build the American empire from the ground up.

It is because of this diversity that many headstones are in different languages. Please make a notation that some names were “Americanized.” Do not get discouraged it you cannot locate your ancestor at first glance. Some examples of “Americanized” names are Brkljacic to Blockovich, Busljeta to Bullet, Epop to Error, Jengich to Yengich etc. Names were also spelled phonetically which accounts for the many discrepancies in spelling. Also noted are errors due to translation - such as dates of birth, death, and other histories.

When walking through the cemetery, you'll notice that parents buried several babies and small children due to epidemics like Flu, Typhoid Fever, Diphtheria and Whooping Cough. Young men lost their lives from miner's lung, mining accidents and violent deaths such as murder. In addition, you'll see that some people died from many diseases that are 100% curable today. It is heartbreaking to see the hundreds of deaths of people under the age of 30.

Keep in mind that the deceased buried here were mostly laborers and many did not have money set aside to buy a headstone. Thus, you will find everything from painted stones to wooden markers, to simply an outline in bricks - with no name on the plot. Often,families are buried together in unmarked gravesites with only one parent being noted with a headstone at best. To say the least, times past were hard for these people as they suffered through several wars and the great depression.

In 1999, as it expanded, the Kennecott Copper Mines relocated the remains of those buried at Chandler Cemetery (Dry Fork area) to Bingham City Cemetery. The Chandler cemetery was moved when Kennecott expanded mining operations in the canyon. That cemetery consists mainly of burials that were from the Chandler family and snow slide victims from Finland. Most of these were unmarked, and unnamed. There were no cemetery records at the time, so the bodies were simply moved and labelled to the best of our ability.

Finally, within the last 40 years, a fire and later a flood swept through the Bingham City cemetery which caused the metal markers to become unreadable. It also caused damage to some gravesites. Vandalism has occurred at this cemetery. Time and deterioration has resulted in the inability to decipher some headstones. For those that were able, Brad Jencks (a descendent of some of those buried here - who has made it his personal quest to restore and p
