Description

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.[1]

History

Cedarview was founded in 1912 when travelers needed a rest stop during a snowstorm.[2] The town was short-lived and never got a post office.[3]
