Geography


Carbonville lies just northwest of Price, the county seat of Carbon County. The Price River and U.S. Route 6 run past on the west, and the historic community of Spring Glen is to the north.


History


Carbonville was one of the first settlement sites in what became Carbon County. Caleb Rhoades built a dugout here in 1877, before moving on to found Price in 1879. Later called "Rhoades Meadow", the place had plenty of water, but of poor quality.[5]

The village grew slowly, with most immigrants preferring the more developed areas of Price and Spring Glen. Carbonville did experience rapid growth in the industrial and housing boom years after World War II. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints organized the first ward here in the late 1940s, and a second one in the 1950s.[6]


Demographics


As of the census[3] of 2010, there were 1,567 people living in the CDP. There were 669 housing units. The racial makeup of the CDP was 90.0% White, 0.3% Black or African American, 1.6% American Indian and Alaska Native, 0.1% Asian, 0.1% Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, 5.7% from some other race, and 2.2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 12.3% of the population.
