Utah's most notorious native son, the elusive international cowboy outlaw, Robert Leroy Parker, better known as Butch Cassidy, grew up in Circle Valley just a mile from Circleville (but he was born considerably further to the west, across the Tushar Mountains, in the town of Beaver, Utah). His family's small cabin, on the outskirts of town, is still standing on the land they homesteaded. It can be seen on the west side of the road almost exactly one mile to the south of Circleville on what is now US Highway 89. The cabin's location is also just south of the smaller town of Junction, the county seat, and about north of Panguitch.
