Cedarview is a ghost town in eastern Duchesne County, Utah, United States, [1]
The former community is located just off (west) of Utah State Route 121, about midway between Roosevelt and Neola. There is a cemetery in the former community, that operated until 1936; many babies who died of pneumonia are buried there. A few locals from nearby towns are preserving the cemetery from natural threats like erosion. [2] [3]
Cedarview was founded in 1912 when travelers needed a rest stop during a snowstorm. [4] The town was short-lived and never got a post office. [5]
