Latuda is a ghost town in Carbon County, Utah, United States.
History The settlement began when Francisco Latuda and Charles Picco purchased approximately 326 acres of coal-bearing land on 1 August 1917. They then began to develop the Liberty mine and to set up the Liberty Fuel Company.
The first shipment of coal took place in 1918.
By the mid-1940s, production had begun to decline, and by 1954, the company had already wound up most of its operations.
Geography Latuda was situated about seven miles from the mouth of Spring Canyon, in Helper.
A post office operated from 1920 to 1958.
Demography The town had nearly 400 residents, but by 1967, there was no one left.
