Centerville, Utah, is a city in the south-central area of Davis County.  This city is bordered by Farmington to the north, Bountiful and West Bountiful to the south, the Great Salt Lake to the west, and the Wasatch Mountains to the east.  The area was settled by Thomas Grover and his family in 1847.  Grover was one of the men who led the first group of Mormon pioneers to Utah, and after settling in present-day Centerville, Grover served in the Utah Territorial Legislature.  Centerville was originally known as Deuel Settlement and was later renamed to Cherry Creek.  Finally, in 1850, the settlement received the name "Centerville" because of its central location between Farmington and Bountiful.
