Arrowheads, Ancestors, and Early Settlers
As late as 1910, the creeks in Murray provided seasonal camping for Native Americans, including the Paiute, Ute, and Shoshone tribes. The Native Americans often traded tanned skins and dried meats for food and supplies. For many years, arrowheads, scattered throughout the area, were commonly found.

In 1985, Mayor Larell D. Muir, commissioned Peter “Wolf” Toth to sculpt a statue of “Chief Wasatch” to honor the many Native Americans who lived in Utah long before the Euro-American settlers. Toth selected a giant cottonwood tree growing along the Jordan River near 4800 South to carve the sculpture that can be seen along the well-traveled State Street corridor.
