Chris McConnehey From Farm Town to Full Service City Council Member Welcome to West Jordan! Almost 115,000 people call the City of District 1 West Jordan home, making it the fourth-largest city in the State of Utah. Much has changed since pioneers settled this area in 1849. They ventured across the Jordan River in search of good Dirk pastureland for their livestock and never looked back. Burton West Jordan was incorporated in 1941 with a population of Council Member about 1,800, and as late as 1970, it was still largely a rural area. District 2 Then building boomed and from 1973 to 1979 the city’s popu- lation increased 500% to 27,329. Today, with about 25% of the city’s west-side land still available for development, growth is Zach expected to continue. Jacob Despite all this change, West Jordan maintains a small-town Council Member feel. That, along with a large number of parks, many diverse District 3 shopping and dining options, good schools, and a wide range of housing options continues to attract people to the community Alan R. and has given rise to the name “Home of the Good Neighbor!” Anderson We hope you enjoy your stay here in West Jordan.
