The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Henrieville is a town in Garfield County, Utah, United States, along Utah Scenic Byway 12. As of the 2020 census, the town population was 221. The community was named after James Henrie, a Mormon leader.

Henrieville was established in 1877. Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 230 to 221 (-4%). Half of its homes were built before 1982.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Henrieville yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Henrieville is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Henrieville has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Henderson, William Jasper, Jr., and Elizabeth, House in Cannonville, 3.4 miles away.
