GREENDALEGreendale (
Daggett) was a small settlement of the 1880s where William R. Green and his sons Bill, Sanford, John and their families lived. The settlement was centered on a fork of Skull Creek near the present-day Greens Lakes, where ranches, a school and a post office developed. Today this alpine area is composed of campgrounds, summer homes, and a ranch or two.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greendale was the community name given to a small ranching area in the
Uinta Mountains of south-central
Daggett County,
Utah,
USA. During the early and mid twentieth century, the Greendale area was home to a small number of
homestead families who primarily operated small cattle ranches in the remote and rugged terrain. Enough families lived in Greendale to support a one-room school in the 1920s and 1930s.
Major changes came to the Greendale area in the 1950s and 1960s due to the construction of
Flaming Gorge Dam nearby. The region received its first paved roads, and increasing land values helped encourage most of the ranch families to sell out. Today some of the original homestead land is occupied by summer homes, while the former Oscar Swett ranch is maintained as an interpretive site by the
United States Forest Service. The Swett Ranch is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
A United States post office operated at Greendale from 1915 to 1916
