History
On July 29, 1847, a group of Mormon pioneers (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) known as the Mississippi Company, among them John Holladay of Alabama, entered the Salt Lake Valley. Within weeks after their arrival, they discovered a free-flowing, spring-fed stream, which they called Spring Creek (near what is now Kentucky Avenue). While most of the group returned to the main settlement in Salt Lake City for the winter, two or three men built dugouts along this stream and wintered over. Thus, this became the first village established away from Salt Lake City itself. In the spring, a number of families hurried out to build homes and tame the land. There were numerous springs and ponds here, and grasses and wild flowers were abundant, making this a desirable area for settlement.
