History

Incorporated: June 4,1853
Discovered by fur trappers and settled by Mormon pioneers, this historic town has become Utah’s fifteenth largest city.  The city takes its name from the American Fork River and has been called McArtursville and Lake City.  American Fork was settled by Mormon pioneers in the summer of 1850.  Stephen Chipman and his son William Henry, along with Arza Adams and his son Nathan, were en route to Fort Provo to trade when they camped overnight near American Fork Creek.  Cottonwood trees along the creek and lush meadows on the lowlands toward Utah Lake convinced them that this would be an excellent place for their cattle and sheep.
