Bountiful City was incorporated on December 14, 1892. Perrigrine Sessions drove his wagon north to this area in September of 1847, and here Sessions Settlement had its beginning as the second settlement in the territory of Utah. In 1855, thirty-seven years prior to incorporation as a city, the name was changed to Bountiful. Education was always important in this community, and as early as 1848 local pioneer children were taught by Hannah Holbrook in her wickiup school. Orchards and gardens were planted in abundance, supplying produce to local pioneer families, and bountiful harvests brought the development of the growers market, allowing widespread distribution of produce. Dance and drama, quilts and choirs, parade and brass bands, sleigh rides and horse races were all part of the culture and entertainment vital to pioneer life.
