Early settlers in Salt Creek devoted themselves to agriculture and livestock. However, by 1869 mining of precious metals had begun in the Tintic region. Mining towns including Diamond, Silver City, and Eureka appeared. By 1889 it was considered one of the nation's most productive mining areas. Mining continued as the dominant economic driver through mid-twentieth century, then subsided. Salt Creek grew apace, although in 1882 the town name (and US Post Office designation) was changed to ”Nephi”.
