The town is located inside the United States Army’s large weapons testing facility, Dugway Proving Ground, making it a closed city, as the only roads leading to the town pass through military checkpoints at the boundaries of the base.

The name “Dugway” comes from a technique to dig a trench along a hillside to keep a wagon from tipping.
