History of Stansbury Park
Stansbury Park has an exciting and interesting past. The name, Stansbury, after Capt. Howard Stansbury who helped survey the Great Salt Lake in 1850, is relatively new. The area originally was settled about 1855 around the old Benson Grist Mill site. It was known as Richville, and was the County seat until 1861. Other businesses located beside the mill, and were the typical industries of the times, a tannery and local blacksmith shop. Richville (Stansbury Park) was the center of commerce for Tooele Valley, & Benson Gristmill was the centerpiece. The mill operated until 1940 when it was shut down until 1983 when a group of volunteers began restoration. Today, the restored pioneer era industrial site attracts visitors from around the world.

New Stansbury Park
The new Stansbury Park is a relatively new bedroom community founded in 1969. Stansbury Park is a Planned Unit Real Estate Development, (PUD) created around a man made Lake that is fed from the same natural spring that serviced the Mill. A golf Course featuring the same water ammenities provided  homebuyers a selection of water front, golf course or greenbelt homes for sale.

The Stansbury Service Agency was established by the Tooele County Commissioners. The Service Agency has responsibility for maintaining the Real Estate that supports home building, IE: Clubhouse, Swimming Pool, Greenbelts, Parks, Stansbury Lake and the Golf Course which is currently leased.The Parks at Stansbury include baseball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, an astronomical observatory and play areas for children.

Stansbury Park Golf Course
One of the centerpieces of Stansbury Park is its 18-hole public golf course. Originally designed to increase the value of the Stansbury Real Estate,this challenging golf course is now mature and  winds through the beautiful homes of Stansbury and features over a dozen lakes integrated into the layout. All the par 3's are over water and all but two holes have water hazards, so be prepared to splash a ball or two during a round. In the winter time, Stansbury is often the only course open in the greater Salt Lake City area. The course has a clubhouse with food service, a pro shop, putting green and driving range.
