About Cedar Fort

Tucked into the quiet expanse of Cedar Valley west of Utah Lake, Cedar Fort offers open space and rural charm within reach of the county's growing suburbs. The town got its name in the 1850s when early settlers built a fort using local juniper trees they mistook for cedars. Today, remnants of an old stone fort still stand among the pastures, lending a touch of living history to this peaceful farming enclave.

Cedar Fort School

Community spirit runs deep, headlined by an annual Pioneer Day celebration in July that features a rodeo and a massive, decades-old water fight. Families send younger kids to Cedar Valley Elementary, while older students make the short trip into Eagle Mountain or Saratoga Springs for middle and high school. Those neighboring cities also provide everyday shopping and dining, making it easy to run errands before returning home to the quiet pace of the valley.
