Hiawatha Day -2009
We had another successful Hiawatha Day August 15th and I want to thank all of those who worked so hard to "pull it off." There are so many people involved that I am sure I would miss someone if I tried to mention all of them. Anyway, To all of you THANK YOU, at least in my opinion it was a grand old time. It is great to get together, reminisce, look at pictures and just visit with each other. I have some pictures that were taken that I will post on the Hiawatha Day Reunion page as soon as I get them printed.

HIAWATHA
Hiawatha (Carbon) is a former coal mining town 15 miles (24.14 km) southwest of Price on U-122. The town is located at the base of the Gentry Mountains. Hiawatha was an important Mohawk Indian chieftain in the League of the Iroquois Indians. He also was the hero of Longfellow's famous poem of the same name. Hiawatha's name was given to a prominent Pennsylvania coal mine, then transferred to the Utah coal mine, and from the mine to the local community. Initially a vibrant Greek community from the island of Crete worked in the local coal mines. Hiawatha was incorporated in 1911 and in the 1940's had a population of 1,500. Production began to drop, people moved away, and Hiawatha was disincorporated on November 20, 1992. Today it is a ghost town with only a few families residing there. However, the Hiawatha Coal Company is planning to mine again in the near future.
A noted democratic politician, John Emerson Moss (1915-1997) was born here. He championed the Freedom of Information Act.
