History of Peerless, Utah
Taken from the Utah Place Names. (Links Added)
Peerless (Carbon) was in Spring Canyon west of Helper. It was first settled in 1912 and was named after the local coal mine. Peerless peaked around the 1920s and 1030s, but the community soon began to fade because improved transportation allowed the miners to commute from Helper.
