So, I'm going to copy this post from the Spanish Fork Historic Preservation Commission Facebook page. I have another update to do here in another few days when I have some time because I started a Facebook community uproar a couple of months ago that was completely unintended. It was so bad that after 24 hours I deleted the post just to put the fire out.
It got way out of control in such a short amount of time, it was bizarre.
Anyway, stay tuned for that post.
(September 23, 2025)
On September 23, 1776, Fathers Silvestre Vélez de Escalante and Francisco Atanasio Domínguez emerged from Spanish Fork Canyon into Utah Valley during their historic expedition through the Southwest. Their visit gave our city its name and left a lasting mark on our valley’s story.
Today, we honor 249 years of history, remembering their journey and the generations who have called this valley home since.
As we look ahead to the 250th anniversary in 2026, stay tuned for details as we celebrate with events, stories, and opportunities to connect with our shared heritage.
Here’s to the past that shaped us and the future we’re building together in Spanish Fork City. The Home of Pride and Progress.
