Corinne, the “Gentile Capital of Utah,” the “Queen City of the Great Basin,” was an anomaly in Utah, when it was laid out and founded in the spring of 1869 at the spot where the tracks of the Transcontinental Railroad were to cross the Bear River, just five miles west of one of the most Mormon of Utah towns, Brigham City, named for Brigham Young and home of one of the most successful of the co-operative “United Order” communities in Utah. It was inevitable that conflict would arise between Corinne and its neighbors. The saga of Corinne is one of the more fascinating tales of early Utah, with its twenty-eight saloons, its “soiled doves,” and its “divorce machines.” It is a story well worth reading.
