First Public Building

In 1870, Brigham Young appointed Ezra T. Clark, David Hess, and Nicholas Barkdull to colonize this area. Originally known as Twin Creeks, the site was surveyed by Joseph C. Rich in 1871. In 1872, the new settlement was named Georgetown in honor of George C. Cannon. The first public building, used as a church, school, and community center, stands one block south and one-half block west of here. In 1966, the building was given to the Daughters of Utah Pioneers and now serves as a pioneer Relic Hall.
