Plain City, Utah

The Salt Lake Valley settlement began when wagon trains of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began arriving in 1847. By 1858, farmers from the then-settled towns of Lehi and Kay’s Creek, looking for a new place to homestead, began considering the area now known as Plain City. On 17 March 1859, led by Lorin Farr, a group arrived to begin homesteading. Soon after arriving, the group surveyed a townsite and assigned building lots. The town layout used an organized grid system of blocks and streets, originally six blocks north-to-south and three blocks east-to-west. Each block was 5 acres  in area, divided into 4 lots. The first settlers were allowed their choice in selection of a lot.

Plain City was settled in 1859 by a group of pioneers from Lehi. The city was laid out in five-acre squares of four lots each, the work being done at night with the North Star as a guide to mark the blocks accurately. This was the second cabin built here and the builder was John Carver, Sr. It was typical of other pioneer homes used here at that time.
