From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Like many communities in Carbon County, Kenilworth began as a coal mining camp. Coal was first discovered here in 1904, and the townsite was laid out in 1908. The name Kenilworth was given by British miners who thought the mountain peaks overlooking the area resembled the spires of Kenilworth Castle.
The population was about 500 in 1910, rose to a high of 1050 in 1947, and at the 1990 census was down to 350.
