Alpine, Utah

United States &gt; Utah &gt; Utah County &gt; Alpine

Quick History
Seven Mormon immigrant families, lead by William Wordsworth, were sent South in the fall of 1850 to a sleepy valley tucked in among the Wasatch mountains. On Jan 19, 1855 the Legislature granted a city charter to Mountainville but because of the beautiful mountains surrounding it, Brigham Young, the Latter Day Saint Prophet, requested the name be changed to Alpine because it reminded him of the Swiss Alps.
