It lies along U.S. Route 40 west of the city of Duchesne, the county seat of Duchesne County.[3] Its elevation is 6,624 feet (2,019 m).[1] Although Fruitland is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 84027.[4]
The settlement was originally called Rabbit Gulch, but unscrupulous land developers renamed it Fruitland in 1907, hoping to draw the unwary to buy land that was unsuitable for growing any kind of fruit.[5]
