Few communities in northern Utah have a history as closely tied to Latter-day Saint settlement and irrigated farming as West Point. Established by pioneer settlers in the 1860s, it grew on the flatlands of Davis County between the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch Range. Its name recalls its role as the county’s westernmost settlement, while farms and open ground long shaped the local economy. West Point is now part of the Wasatch Front urban corridor, yet remains close to the Great Salt Lake’s wetlands and broad salt-desert margins.
