Fruit Heights, Utah 84037

Fruit Heights is a small city in central Davis County.  This city shares a border with Kaysville to the north and west, Farmington to the west and south, and the Wasatch Mountains to the east.  Present-day Fruit Heights was settled by Mormon pioneer families in 1850, three years after settlers arrived in nearby Kaysville.  The settlement sprang up around a Pony Express and stagecoach trail called Mountain Road.  The community was referred to as "Old Mountain Road" until 1939, when the town was officially incorporated and adopted the name Fruit Heights.  At that time, 100 residents lived in the town.

Today, more than 6,000 residents call Fruit Heights home, making it the least-populated city in Davis County.  Of course, one of Fruit Heights's most desirable qualities is its size.  Though Highway 89 cuts directly through the city, Fruit Heights is quiet and somewhat unaffected by the congestion of the Wasatch Front.  Another desirable quality of Fruit Heights is its location.  This city is located nearly centrally between Ogden and Salt Lake City.  In addition, residents enjoy striking views of the Wasatch Mountains.  Fruit Heights is home to the Davis Park Golf Course and Cherry Hill, an attraction that features a campground, waterpark, miniature golf course, batting cages, climbing wall, and much more. True to it's name sake, Fruit Heights has long been famous for its fruit orchards and desirable growing conditions for farmers with a pleasant location above the valley floor.
