- Summary:
-
The pamphlet traces the social history of Woods Cross, Utah from pioneer arrival in 1847 through 1976. Each street of the town serves as the focal point for a discussion of the role of each family in the town's history. Content includes establishment of railway lines and a depot, growth of water companies and recurrent local water problems, documented rationale for Mormon polygamy, records of arrests for polygamy, processes employed by molasses-making mills, changes and growth in the business district, comparative demographic profiles of the town in 1880 and 1976, occurrences of twins throughout several generations, and the role of local women in the suffrage movement. Many photographs, sketches, and street maps illustrate the text. A concluding discussion about the future of Woods Cross emphasizes the location of the town with respect to oil refineries and processing plants. The authors encourage oil companies to locate in the town and foster growth, on the condition that the historical qualities of the town are kept alive. (AV)
