About
Vineyard History
The story of a town on the shore of Utah Lake.
Vineyard History tells the story of Vineyard, Utah, from the lake left behind by the ice age to the city rising on the ground where Geneva Steel once stood. It covers the Timpanogos Utes, the 1776 Domínguez and Escalante expedition, the Latter-day Saint pioneers, the grapevines and dairies, the Geneva resort, the steel mill and the war, the town of 151 and the city of today.
Every fact on this site comes from a published source: the Library of Congress, the National Archives, Utah Digital Newspapers, A History of Utah County (Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, Utah State Historical Society, 1999), Utah State History, newspapers and the agencies that did the work. The full list is on the Sources page. Where sources disagree, the site says less rather than guess.
Vineyard History is free for everyone. It is an independent project created by Vineyard City Councilman Jacob Wood.
