Perry, Utah

Perry is a city in Box Elder County, Utah, United States.

Settlement by LDS pioneers began in 1853, when William Plummer Tippets built a cabin at the settlement known as "Three Mile Creek", there being a creek three miles south of Box Elder (now Brigham City).

[6] In 1854 Gustavus Adolphus Perry was made LDS branch president at the location.

[8] In June 1896 a partially completed reservoir at the mouth of Three Mile Creek Canyon (now Perry Canyon) overflowed, flooding much of the town, destroying homes and covering farms with mud and gravel.

[9] Perry is located in southeastern Box Elder County and is bordered by Brigham City to the north and Willard to the south.

The east side of the city is bordered by Cache National Forest at the northern end of the Wasatch Range.

[10] It is now primarily a suburban residential community,[9] with some commercial activity along the northern border with Brigham City and along U.S. 89.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 8.0 square miles (20.8 km2), all land.
