Vineyard, Utah - City and Town Halls on Waymarking.com

Vineyard lies about one hundred feet below the brow of the west Orem hill and from ten to fifty feet above Utah Lake. It was the sand hills themselves, ideal for the cultivation of grapes, as well as other fruits and berries, from which Vineyard took its name.

The agricultural potential first drew settlers to the area, and until recently, agriculture has remained the main enterprise (except for Geneva Steel). Commercial ventures were largely extensions of an agricultural economy. The most significant single event in the history of Vineyard was the construction of the Geneva Steel Plant, beginning in 1942. The plant displaced forty farmers, among them seventeen dairy farmers, and disrupted the traditionally pastoral setting.

Little by little, development reformed the east half of the community for several years as several parcels of property were assimilated into neighboring communities. In an effort to define its own future, and preserve its rural atmosphere as much as possible, Vineyard residents petitioned for incorporation in January 1989; approval was granted May 11, 1989.
