Bountiful, Utah

Bountiful, Utah, is a city located toward the southern of Davis County.  This city is bordered by Centerville to the north, West Bountiful and Woods Cross to the west, North Salt Lake to the south, and the Wasatch Mountains to the east.  Bountiful was one of the earliest-settled areas in Utah.  In fact, it was the Mormon pioneers' second settlement after Salt Lake City. The area was known as Sessions Settlement and North Canyon Ward. It wasn’t until the mid-1850s that the area was called Bountiful, a word which means “giving generously”. The new name was fitting due to the community’s lush gardens and beautiful surroundings.  Bountiful was officially incorporated in 1892. Though growth in the city began slowly over the first few decades, the Bountiful population has consistently been on the rise ever since. The biggest spike in population came during 60's and 70's when more than 21,000 people moved to the area. Today, more than 43,000 residents call Bountiful home. This city has been voted to be one of the safest areas in Utah to call home. It was built on a slant along the side of the Wasatch Mountains. Maple Ridge and Stone Ridge are two communities that have literally been developed on the mountains themselves, overlooking the rest of the city. Canyon Crest is another beautiful neighborhood which can be found at the mountain base.
