COMMUNITY PROFILE: SOUTH JORDAN
General Information
Raising livestock and growing grain and alfalfa were the chief means of livelihood for early residents of South Jordan. During the greater part of the twentieth century, the major crop in South Jordan was sugar beets. Today, the remaining agriculture consists of small plots of land where grain and hay are grown to feed horses and a few cattle.
South Jordan continues to be one of the fastest growing cities in Salt Lake County with an average of 9 percent growth per year.
Though residential development in the Salt Lake valley has mushroomed, South Jordan City is committed to preserving its natural beauty. Along the banks of the Jordan River, the City is cooperating with other government, non-profit and private groups to set aside a significant area for the South Jordan Riverway Wildlife Enhancement project.
Origin of City's Name
The name of South Jordan comes from the communities' proximity to the Jordan River.
