         A BRIEF HISTORY OF KAYSVILLE

     Early in 1850, William Kay and his family, along with several other
families, settled on Kays Creek, The Kay’s first home was constructed of logs.

     It is generally agreed among different authorities that Kay’s ward was
organized sometime in 1851, four years after Hector C. Haights first arrived.

     The town of Kaysville which was named after its founder, Bishop Kay, was
incorporated in 1868.

     Kaysville was the first incorporated town in Davis County, the boundaries
at that time being approximately five miles square.

     Thomas F. Roueche served as the first mayor of the town.

     Kaysville is located in the central part of Davis County, a choice town
surrounded by fertile farms, conveniently located near the rapidly expanding
Hill Air Force Base and the Clearfield Navy Supply Depot and within easy driving
distance of Metropolitan Ogden and Salt Lake City.

     The town at present boasts two schools, Davis High School which serves the
north section of the county and Kaysville Elementary school. A new seven room
elementary school is planned for the near future.

     The Davis County Health Center as well as the Davis County Library is
located in the town.

     The town is now expanding rapidly with the addition of different new
subdivisions.

          The town is served by three highways, U.S. 91, U.S. 91 alternate, and
U.S. 89.

     It includes approximately 1,400 acres within the city limits. The expanding
boundaries and population is an indication of rapid growth and progress as well
as social and economic well-being in the future.
