Hatch Park – A Brief History

The Town of North Salt Lake was incorporated on September 3, 1946 and the first Town officials were appointed. In 1949 Ray C. Hatch was elected Town President with Alton L. Boggess, Jack Cummings, Julius Edleman, and Freda Wood as the first Town Board. Ray Hatch served two four-year terms as president, from 1949 to 1957.

On July 5, 1955 Town President Ray C. Hatch and the Town Board purchased this land from the Bamberger Railroad. Citizens donated their time and efforts in changing the burned-out area from the Bamberger Fire into a baseball park. Later the park was expanded to include a playground, pavilion, and restrooms. These great tasks were performed with a minimum amount of money and a maximum amount of effort.

Woods Cross Posts:

Woods Cross lies near the bottom of the Great Salt Lake Basin, approximately eight miles north of Salt Lake City. It was officially chartered in 1935 by the owners of the Reservoir and Pipeline Company who pooled their Mill Creek water shares and transferred their capital stock and assets to the new city board of trustees. Woods Cross was originally an unincorporated area extending from the southern boundary of Centerville south to the Salt Lake County line and including the areas and communities of Val Verda, Orchard, North Salt Lake, West Bountiful, among others.

In 1847, after the initial Mormon settlement of the Salt Lake Valley, Peregrine Sessions went north to locate pasture lands. He selected a spot near Cudahy Lane, where he spent the winter with is family watching over the herds. The next year, 1848, other settlers arrived and built cellars and dugouts along and near the banks of the Jordan River.
