History of Antimony
In 1873 a party on a peace mission to the Fish Lake band of Native Americans camped here and named the creek Coyote after catching coyote pups along its banks. Permanent settlers arrived in 1878.
Stibnite, the ore of the metal antimony, was discovered in nearby Coyote Canyon in 1880, and mining became part of the local economy. The town was renamed Antimony in 1921 and incorporated in 1934.
