In 1859, this area was resettled permanently by families of James Allred, Wm. Black, James Ellis, a large Danish colony of gifted craftsmen and stonemasons, and others. They surveyed the land, raised abundant crops, and became known as the breadbasket of Utah; built substantial homes and chapel of oolite stone, quarried south of town. The fort built west of the chapel in 1853 was burned by Indians, 1854. Town was incorporated, named Spring City 1870, John R. Baxter, Mayor.

The DUP monument near the Chapel says that John R Baxter was the Mayor when the plaque was placed but it must have been in the planning stages when he was Mayor and it took longer than expected to build the memorial because he was no longer the Mayor.
