General Information
Eagle Mountain is one of Utah's newest towns. It is one of the very few towns since Pioneer times that was planned before it was incorporated.
When fully developed, Eagle Mountain will be a pedestrian-friendly community that will make it possible for many residents to access shops and services within walking distance from their homes. This new-age community may be the first in Utah designed with a recognition of the profound changes taking place in the work environment due to telecommunications. Wide band communication links (fiber optics) are available to every address. Eagle Mountain offers an abundance of business sites, including industrial property and reasonably-priced business campus environments. A new airport with taxiway access for corporate operations is in the development stages.
Since its incorporation at the end of 1996, Eagle Mountain has grown from 490 residents to 2,157. With a median age of 21.1, Eagle Mountain residents are some of the youngest in the county.
Origin of City's Name
The name Eagle Mountain was suggested by the town's founders as they watched numerous eagles from an observation point on the slopes along the eastern edge of town.
Date of Incorporation: December 14, 1996
Did You Know?
Eagle Mountain's core developmental area will be the prime Utah example of "New Urbanism" or "Traditional Neighborhood Design." The town's open space planning allows agricultural operations to co-exist with development. The historic Pony Express Trail crosses Eagle Mountain.
