Morgan City lies on both sides of the Weber River, a little south east of the center of the valley. It is divided into two wards, called respectively north and south Morgan. At first the river was the dividing line. North Morgan, at first called Mt. Joy, was settled about 1861. Among the first people there were John Heath, Wyman Parker, Daniel Williams and William George. It is said that Daniel Williams built the first house on the north side of the river. That first winter was perhaps one of the most severe in the early history of Weber Valley. The pioneers suffered many hardships from cold and sometimes hunger. But these difficulties did not daunt their courage. About this same time, 1861, Abiah Wadsworth (a left handed carpenter), George Higley and Nelson Arave and their families settled where the grist mill now stands. They built a saw mill there. Benjamin F. Smith came the same season. Mr. Smith crossed the plains a number of times to assist emigrants in coming here. He also brought the first telegraph wires to Utah. In August, 1863, Martin Heiner bought a 40 acre farm in Mt. Joy. And that fall a number of people settled there – the Robisons, Conrad Smith and Henry and Peter Rock.
