Show WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, MARCH 6, 1980 NORTH DAVIS LEADER, MARCH 6, 1980 KAYSVILLE WAS the fifth city in Utah to build a hospital. Eight years after Kaysville was settled the residents petitioned to have the city's name changed to "Freedom." When the suggestion was taken to Brigham Young, he asked sharply, When did Kays Ward get its freedom?" The following is an excerpt for the Deseret Evening Dec. 17, 1910, SaNews vored by nature and by man, Kaysville the business center of Davis County, has finally achieved an aspect of industry unexcelled by any other city of equal size in Utah. Its main characteristics are solidity, permanency and industry; from a mere hamlet of a dozen or so years ago, it has grown to a manufacturing center of more than local renown. NOT OFTEN has Kaysvil-le- s history been told; fewer times has it been recorded... The first permanent settler to locate on the site of present-da- y Kaysville was Hector C. Haight. He traveled north from Salt Lake City with Perig-rin- e Sessions to find grazing land for cattle. Mr. Sessions settled about 10 miles north of Salt Lake City in what would soon be called Sessionsville now Bountiful and Woods Cross. MR.

Edward Phillips and John Green were his counselors. Other historical research suggests Kays Ward was established on jan. 27, 1851. Another source savs the ward was founded in September 1851. IN THE early settlement of Utah, the LDS Ward Bishopric had the duaw responsibility of handling the spiritual and church affairs of the people and of providing a civil government for the town. The Ward Bishopric was also the "town board and mayor" during the early years. The boundaries of Kaysville at this time ran from Haight's Creek on the south to the Weber River on the north. This would include the present towns of Kaysville, Layton, Syracuse, West Point, Clinton, Clearfield and South Weber. bushels. William Kay's five acres of wheat produced 210 bushels. The pioneers of Kays Ward took turns standing guard over their crops day and night so California immigrants heading for the gold fields would not graze their stock in the planted fields.

Later the family moved more towards the south and they are credited with founding the community of Farmington. Some historians say Samuel Oliver Holmes was the first real settler of Kaysville. In 1849, he probably purchased a small cabin from a trapper. It was located about 1 Vi miles west and southwest of Kays-ville- s city center. The cabin site was on a small creek that is called Holmes Creek today. Mr. Holmes planted seeds and raised a crop.
