The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The community, established in 1981, was originally a private development, consisting of cabins managed by a HOA. It stayed at that political level, with various calls for incorporation over the years until the formal process began in 2015, with a vote for incorporation happening in November 2016 (79-44 for incorporation). The formal certificate of incorporation from the State of Utah was issued on December 7, 2017.
