- Settled: Originally the last construction camp of The Central Pacific Railroad in 1865
- Origin of Name: Named for the terraces etched into the hillsides, left by ancient Lake Bonneville
- Known for: A Section Station on the original route (known as the Promontory Branch) of the Central Pacific Railroad; Terrace was the maintenance and repair headquarters for the railroad’s Salt Lake Division; facilities included a 16-stall roundhouse, machine shop, coal sheds, water tanks, and an eight-track switchyard; sustained by the railroad shops, Terrace prospered and became a population center in northwestern Utah; within Terrace were stores, the Wells Fargo and Company Express, a telegraph, railroad agent, and a school; inhabited from 1869- 1910, with an estimated population at its peak of about 1,000; however, after the completion of the Lucin Cutoff, which bypassed the Promontory Branch and a fire that decimated buildings about the same time, along with the railroad shops being moved to Montello and Carlin, Nevada, the town folded; by 1910, scraps of metal and building remnants were all that was left of Terrace; rails were taken up and scrapped during World War II and Terrace was no more
- Notable Features: At its zenith, Terrace was said to be the largest town between Ogden and Elko, Nevada, but after its population dwindled. Terrace was completely abandoned in 1942; today there is little evidence of the once-thriving community; it has a cemetery.
- Location: Located along the route of the old transcontinental grade, about 28 miles southwest of Park Valley, UT
