Not far from Cottonwood Heights in Salt Lake Countyis another great little town known as Holladay and those that live there feel like it is a Holiday every day of the year, you can tell by the great smiles and friendly people there.

On July 29, 1847 pioneers known as the Mississippi Company, led by John Holladay, arrived in the Salt Lake Valley which is now in Salt Lake County. They discovered a free flowing, spring fed stream, most of the group went to the Fort in Great Salt Lake for the winter but two or three men built dugouts along this stream and wintered over. It became the first village established away from Great Salt Lake City itself. In the spring, many families went out to build homes and cultivate the land. There were plenty of springs and ponds, grasses and wild flowers, making this a desirable area to settle. John Holladay was named as the branch president of the Church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, better know as the Mormons), thus the town became Holladay or Holladay's Burgh.

As homes were built and commerce arose as did commercial ventures. The intersection of Highland Drive and Murray-Holladay Road, helped the community to grow, businesses tended to move east of the intersection of Holladay Boulevard and Murray-Holladay Road, the area became a popular place for residents to live. Neilson's Store and Harper-Bowthorpe Blacksmith Shop were well-frequented businesses for years. Agriculture, orchards and businesses allowed for continued growth over the years.

The Holladay and Cottonwoodcommunities became a desirable area to live, close to the mountains, fresh streams for irrigation, ideal or community growth. Today both Holladay and Cottonwood Heights in Salt Lake Countyare still desirable real estate, offering the same benefits as years ago along with great restaurants, recreational sites, facilities, great neighborhoods and schools.
