Ucolo is a small, quiet place in San Juan County, Utah, United States. It's not a big city or town, but rather an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and people living together without its own local government, like a mayor or city council.

About Ucolo

Ucolo is special because it's located very close to the border of another state, Colorado. In fact, its name, Ucolo, is a mix of Utah and Colorado! This kind of mixed word is called a portmanteau.

The community is found near U.S. Route 491, which is a major road. The closest established town to Ucolo is Egnar, Colorado, which is just across the state line.
