West Jordan: A Salt Lake Valley Suburb Built on Farmland
West Jordan was settled in the 1840s by Mormon pioneers who established irrigation canals from the Jordan River to support wheat and dairy farming. The city remained predominantly agricultural until the late twentieth century, when residential subdivision accelerated as Salt Lake County extended outward. The population grew from fewer than 30,000 in 1980 to more than 116,000 today.
The city's Gardner Village, developed around the 1853 Gardner Mill, retains a collection of restored pioneer-era structures converted into shops and restaurants. The mill itself operated until 1962 and now houses a furniture store. Veterans Memorial Park, the city's largest municipal park, hosts concerts and community gatherings on its amphitheater lawn.
West Jordan sits along the eastern slope of the Oquirrh Mountains, with views of the Kennecott Bingham Canyon Mine, one of the largest open-pit copper mines in the world. The mine has operated since 1906 and is visible from much of the Salt Lake Valley as a terraced excavation descending more than 2,700 feet into the mountain.
