I Clinton Clinton is a town Mhieh hat been known by many names, including Sandridgc. It Mas also called the Range, Basin, and Summit. It was called the Range because many settlers grazed their animals in the area. And the ridge of Tine sand left from Lake Bonneville, prompted the name Sandridgc. Since the sandy ndge sloped to the north and south, the Utah railroad workers called it Summit. West of the ridge the general contour of the land prompted the name Basin. Those Mho settled the area didn't like the town being called so many names so they got together to decide on a permanent name. Following much discussion and several suggestions, Joseph D. Burnett proposed the name Clinton because of his love for the town of Clinton, Tenn. With a vote of the townspeople the approval was given for the permanent name of Clinton. Farmington Farmington's first name was North Cottonwood Ward, be- cause of two tall cottonwood trees that stood like old sentinels. The name was changed to Farmington in 1834, probably because of the rich soil which made the land an excellent farming area. Additional support for the name came from Wilford Woodruff, whose home town in Connecticut was called Farmington. Fruit Heights It was the pioneers who put the fruit in Fruit Heights. Originally part of Kaysville, and as early as the 1830s, fruit was grown in the settlement. As more pioneer families settled in the west part of this early settlement, fruit farming was forced to move to higher grounds. A ditch dug by Samuel Driggs, making water accessible to the early settlers, had an influences , on the development of Fruit Heights. With the availability of water, Grandison Raymond, Sr., in 1854 was one of the first to grow fruit trees in the area. Fruit Heights became known fruit producfor its tion along with being located on higher ground near the base of the mountains. high-quali- ty Kaysville .
