Why I LOVE Mapleton Utah . . .
Paul lives in Mapleton with his wife and
six children. Mapleton
City is nestled against the majestic foothills of Sierra
Bonita Mountain in the Wasatch Range. A unique community
having the advantage of 60 percent of the land being
undeveloped within the corporate boundaries of the City. The
rural atmosphere combined with the friendliness of its
citizens have attracted an influx of new residents to the
area.
The current population is approximately 7,997 with the
State projecting a population of 20,000 in the Year 2020.
To avoid jeopardizing the open space ambiance and
spectacular views in every direction, the City has been
and will be pro-active in its planning scope to accommodate
diversified residential, commercial, and recreational
interests.

The area was first settled in 1850, and for a time
was known as Union Bench. It started out as an
agricultural extension of
Springville, Utah. Legal action between
residents of Springville and what became Mapleton,
largely over water rights, allowed Mapleton to chart
its own course beginning in 1901. Mapleton was
finally incorporated in 1948.

Mapleton is still a somewhat rural area, but is
rapidly suburbanizing in the wake of development.
Numerous large subdivisions like Triple Crown,
Harvest Park and Eagle Rock have been approved in
recent years. None of the city touches the I-15,
which has kept the city more rural than neighboring
Springville Utah and
Spanish
Fork Utah. The main artery through town is US89.
Mapleton uses innovative planning techniques,
including Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) to
preserve the foothills. Mapleton retains a small
town charm. Many of the homes are located on large
lots with most minimum lot sizes ranging from
one-third acre to 2 acres. Buyers will find
many one acre lots in Mapleton.
There are two restaurants in Mapleton - the Model
A Cafe, and Subway, both located at the intersection
of Highway 89 and Maple Street. Parks include
Mapleton City Park (SE corner of Main and Maple
