This county site needs a dedicated host to make this site the best that it can be!

(A desire to transcribe data and the know-how to make a basic webpage is required) Join our mailing lists for researchers looking to connect and share information. You never know who you might meet and what family data they may share with you -- it could start a whole new branch of the family! We also use the mailing lists to announce our website updates.

Established in 1892, its name is of uncertain origin, there being two possibilities usually cited: For Wayne Robinson, whose father Willis E. Robinson served in the Utah State legislature or for American Revolutionary War Gen. Anthony Wayne. The Green River, passing through the canyons of Canyonlands National Park, forms the eastern boundary. The San Rafael Desert occupies the center of the county. Thousand Lake Mountain and Boulder Mountain flank Rabbit Valley on the western end of the county, where beautiful forests contrast with the deserts to the east. The small population of the county is centered in Rabbit Valley.
