Histori
Bluffdale, named after the geography of the cliffs and valleys, first settled in 1848-1849 when the area was originally part of West Jordan. On July 29, 1858, Orrin Porter Rockwell paid five hundred dollars to Evan M. Green for sixteen hectares of land near Crystal Hot Lakes (adjacent to Utah State Prison now). This land includes Hot Springs Hotel and Brewery with dining facilities, stable, brewery, and pony express station. As the community progressed, the Bluffdale area became part of South Jordan, then Riverton. In 1883, Bluffdale Elementary School was formed from parts of Herriman, South Jordan and Draper. On August 1, 1886, the Bluffdale Neighborhood of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized with Lewis H. Mousley as Bishop. For a short time the town was called Mousley. There are seven irrigation channels that come from the Jordan River in the Bluffdale area and serve the Salt Lake Valley. One of the earliest was Utah and the Salt Lake Canal began in 1862. Some early buildings include an adobe church, built in 1887-1888, a tenth house, and a three-room school building built in 1893.
