Modern settlement began in the mid and late 1800s with the arrival of Latter-day Saints in the region. In 1877, fur trappers built a cabin in what is now Price and a small number of families soon followed and began farming.
The area experienced major population growth, from hundreds of residents to several thousand, following the 1883 completion of a railroad by the Denver and Rio Grande to service coal mines. With the development of coal mining as a key industry in the region, the Price area became one of the most culturally diverse areas in Utah as people from a wide range of nationalities came to work in the mines. A substantial irrigation canal was completed in 1888, allowing for large-scale farming. Members of the U.S. Army 9th Cavalry Regiment completed the construction of a road and telegraph lines through nearby Ninemile Canyon in 1886, linking Price and the surrounding region to the Uintah Basin and Fort Duchesne.
The city was formally incorporated July 14, 1892 (originally as part of Emery County) and is named after the Price River, itself named after early settler William Price. The College of Eastern Utah was established in Price in 1937, later renamed Utah State University Eastern.
