| | History of Eagle Mountain, Utah |
 | | The first federal military post in Utah, Camp Floyd, was established in the southwestern portion of the valley. |
 | | At its high point, Camp Floyd housed one third of the country's army reserves and boasted 3,500 troops and officers, 500 wagons, 600 horses and 3,000 mules-not to mention the merchants and camp followers that pushed the community population to nearly 7,000. |
 | | Even with an average issuance of 40+ residential building permits a month, the sheer size Eagle Mountain promises room for anyone who wants to raise a family in a master-planned community that incorporates the technology of today and tomorrow with the values from the past. |
