Rocky Ridge is a town on the northeastern edge of Juab County, Utah, United States.[2][4] As of the 2010 census it had a population of 733,[5] and in 2018 the estimated population was 833.[6]
The town is located on the northern edge of the Juab Valley in the eastern foothills of the Wasatch Range, but entirely west of Interstate 15 (I‑15).[7] It is part of the Provo–Orem, Utah Metropolitan Statistical Area.
While there is a "Rocky Ridge"[8] and a "Rocky Ridge Canyon"[9] in northeastern Juab County (both located east of the city of Nephi, approximately 16 miles [26 km] south‑southeast of the community), the town was named for "the rocks, in a bountiful array of types and colors, strewn plentifully across the surrounding ridges separating Juab and Utah counties," according to the town website.[10]
