At the time the first settlers rair.e to Carterville the bench land was a vast waste with nothing noth-ing growing upon it but sage biuh, grease wood and a few j.iants that can survive on a .mall amount of moisture. There were no trees, nor any streams cf running water upon it. It was inhabited by coyotes, rabbits, 1 ground hogs, sage hens and rat-, ! tiers, while other less harmful snakes roamed there in abundance. abund-ance. The river bottom land, hat is the land on either side of the Provo river was covered with large cottonwood trees and a thick undergrowth of bushes. Here birds of all descriptions made the scene enchanting with their music. Early in the 1870's the landj known as Carterville proper j was owned by a man named. Benjamin eacnman. mere were 1 85 acres owned by Bachmas, and he traded it to John H. Carter, Sr. for the Carter property of 5th West between 2rd and 4th North. This consisted of an adobe house and two small log houses, together with several city lots. These were the homes of John H- Carter, Sophia Carter and Abner and Maryetta Haws. Later, however, this land Carter received through his trade, together to-gether with the land homestead-ed homestead-ed by Myron Tanner, James Smith, John H. Hoover, Eprriam Stewart and Abner Haws, became be-came known as Carterville. This land borders the road on each side, which runs north and south along the extreme edge of the east side of west Provo Bench and extends from Salt Lake Base Meridian, Township 6 South, 2 East to the mouth of ! Provo Canyon.

Carter set up a blacksmith black-smith shop and he and hi boys cug the canal to carry irrigat-.' irrigat-.' n water from the mouth of the ranyon to Carter's point, and from there the settlers below dug the rest of the present canal. The road to this community was merely a trail through the sage orusn. O x teams were used to up root the sage brush and cotton-wood cotton-wood trees. They plowed and leveled the eround. dug ditches and canals, and by 1879 a flourishes flour-ishes little village stood where there was nothing but desert and wilderness a few short "ears before. be-fore. At one time there were 15 acres of strawberries on the Carter-Emmons farm. Potatoes were the first crop planted, later lat-er hay and grain and small fruits. The homes were built of logs which were brought from Provo canyon. There were some Indians here then but they were peaceful and friendly. The first public building was a school house. It was a one room log building and was situated situ-ated where the Spencer School now stands. It was made of logs which were gotten out of Provo Canyon by William and John Carter, Abner Haws, James Loveless, Joseph Evans and Peter Pet-er Wenfz. The Carter children were sent to Provo. Some of the first teachers were Sadie Tal-madge Tal-madge Patton, Sanuel Bunnell, Marshal Henry and Sena Rogers. Dances, programs and other forms of entertainment - were given in the school house. When admission was charged, as money mon-ey was scarce, the fee was oiten paid in produce and the fiddlar went home with honey, molasses and other produce for his pay. Labor was exchanged for labor and produce was often given in payment for labor. Most of the people of this community belonged to the Reorganized Re-organized church and attended church in Provo, while the Mormon Mor-mon population prior to the forming of Grand View ward were members of the Provo Third ward. New homes have been built and improvements made and there are some people other than the Carter families living there but the greater part of the population of Carterville are descendants of the first settlers.
