North Salt Lake is located in Davis County

Population: 6,474 Beginning at the boundary line of Salt Lake and Davis counties and stretching east up the mountainside and west towards the Great Salt Lake sits the city of North Salt Lake. On its northern border the city meets Woods Cross and Bountiful.

In 1847 Brigham Young sent settlers north to find pastureland for cattle and to establish settlements. Among these people were the first homesteaders in North Salt Lake. As they left the Salt Lake area and traveled north, they found several steaming hot springs and ponds. These hot springs are still active on the southern boundary of the city. To the west flowed the Jordan River, and the land was swampy and covered with swamp grass. To the east the land slowly climbed up the tall grass-covered lower mountainsides. This grass sometimes hid a deep crevasse large enough to be of danger to cattle. Small natural springs found their way from the mountains into the grassy valley below. Many of the hillsides were rocky and sandy and not well suited for crops or cattle; however, they did produce several sand and gravel excavations.

While many of these characteristics remain today, North Salt Lake City lies nestled between the Davis-Salt Lake County lin on the south and the Bountiful-Woods Cross on the nore. It is encompassed by highway and freeway entering and exiting Salt Lake City and Bountiful. If the traveler would stop and take a second look, they would see industrial and business area sprawling west beyond the freeway to the Great Salt Lake and to the east the Eaglewood golf course surrounded by beautiful homes. From it's beginning, the City of North Salt Lake has naturally drawn a residential and industrial balance, both living in harmony for longer than fifty years.
