John Staker and Ebenezer Wiggins reportedly raised a crop of grain in the area in 1853.

[10] The land at West Weber was reported in 1903 to have a reputation as one of the poorest soils between Salt Lake City and Ogden.

The earlier settlers spent about $2500 to irrigate ten small farms in the area in 1860–61.
