Originally settled in 1863, one colorful story regarding the town's name involved Brigham Young. Young stopped here on a trip south and enjoyed an evening of "stag" dancing, a common form of entertainment where men danced together due to the lack of women. He enjoyed himself so much that he named the town Merry Vale.

Kingston, UT, 84743
The little tree-covered town of Kingston is interesting because of its unusual history where during the years 1878-1884, the people lived under the Mormon United Order. The old woolen mill, grist mill, etc., stood for many years but all were burned in a fire. Kingston is a beautiful area for picnicking, camping, hiking and fishing. The rock formations in the canyon are varied and interesting with many Indian caves to explore. The town of Kingston is a treat to visit. It is beautifully rural and has many historic and human interest sights. The crumbled remains of three open air dance halls in the County are reminders of the excitement and romance of the 1930 to 1950's. The open air dance hall just outside of Kingston was called "PURPLE HAZE."It has had some work done on it and has been used for dancing on special occasions through the years.

The Paiute ATV Trail runs through Circleville. All services are available.
Circleville boasts of their famous (or infamous), George LeRoy Parker better known as Butch Cassidy, who spent his youth there during the 1870's and 1880's and his boyhood home still stands, near U.S. 89, two miles south of town and in the summer months it is open for visitors. Piute County is Butch Cassidy Country in more ways than one, and here he is thought of with a little more kindness and tolerance than one might expect.
