Named for Tuilla, the Black Bear
Tooele takes its name from a Goshute chief, Tuuwiita, the Shoshoni word for black bear, anglicized as Tuilla. Three families settled on a small stream south of today's city in September 1849, and the railroad of 1904 and the International Smelting and Refining Company smelter of 1909 turned the farm town toward industry.
