NOTICE Gty Possible Planting Trees 1 Early Roy Industries Slow In Starting, Canning Company Is Boom To Farming and Employment Probably the first industry started in southwestern Weber County was the grist mill built In Riverdale by Daniel Burch In 1852. He later added a saw mill so that the cottonwood trees that lined the banks of the Weber River could be cut and hewn into lumber. Many of the early homes in Weber and Davis Counties were constructed of the lumber sawed at the Burch Mill. In 1858 the mill was purchased by John Taylor who eventually became the president of the Latter Day Saints Church. The name was changed to Taylors Mill and it was run by Richard Dye and William C.

Some had already been planted in orchard an other fruits. The rest he planted in corn, beans and tomatoes. With the help of his sons, Mr. Hardy built the first canning factory in Roy, the Rocky Mountain Canning Corporation adjacent to the railroad tracks. Although the machinery was all hand operated, the factory had a capacity of 10.000 cans a day. The canned products had markets intermountain the throughout states. The canning business came to be the first and largest Industry to be established in the area. It was a boom to the employment of popls from Hooper, Clinton, Sun. set, Roy and other adjoining towns.
