Spring Glen is a census-designated place in Carbon County, in eastern Utah, United States. The population was 1,126 at the 2010 census. Founded in 1878, Spring Glen was the first surviving settlement in what is now Carbon County. First settled principally by white Mormon farmers, the community became much more diverse after virtually 1890, when the take forward of the area’s coal mines brought an influx of immigrants from Southern Europe and extra regions.

The first settlers in Spring Glen were a handful of bachelor farmers, starting past James Gay in 1878. Groups of associates and relatives allied the first few homesteaders, mostly independent minded people who were push away the organized Mormon project to encourage what became Emery County.

As kids began to arrive, a school was started in 1883, but such a public progress was the exception rather than the rule. The forward settlers were nonconformists, less religious and less social than their counterparts in further Utah settlements, so the community was slow to develop. It was hard to gain the residents to cooperate in any communal projects. The LDS Church organized the first ward here in 1883, but it was not until the winter of 1886–7 that a company was formed to build an irrigation canal, which was not completed until 1893. The canal company agreed upon the declare of Spring Glen for the village as skillfully as the company. The Spring Glen townsite was officially surveyed upon May 27–28, 1890.
