Located about 20 miles west of Lehi, Cedar Valley gained prominence in the early days when Johnston's Army was stationed sta-tioned at Camp Floyd. About this time, Utah's second sec-ond newspaper, "The Valley Tan," was also published here. Later, a stage coach station was built at Fairfield and the valley became a connecting link in the delivery of mall, newspapers newspa-pers and other material over the overland stage network between be-tween 1859 and 1868. When Pony Express way stations sta-tions were established between Sacramento, Calif., and St. Joseph, Jo-seph, Missour, Fairfield served as the last stop before reaching Salt Lake City on the eastward relay. Then things changed and the area failed to keep space with the communication improvements. improve-ments. Until the early 1940' s, it was without telephone service. Then a few coin-operated toU stations were installed to serve residents of the area. This will change about Aug. 1, when the new telephone service will be completed.
