Manila received it's name in 1898 from Adolph Jesse, who surveyed it, in commemoration of the victory over the Spanish fleet at Manila, Philippines. In 1917, when Daggett County was created, Manila was named the County Seat. As of the year 2000, the population was 308.
It is located against the hills on the northern side of Lucerne Valley, a remote valley tucked between the north slopes of the Uinta Mountains and the Wyoming border. Flaming Gorge Reservoir covers the eastern end of the valley.
