History

According to the local newspaper announcement, the development "is ideal from a
scenic point of view. The lake forms a beautiful and transparent foreground while
at a distance arise in majesty the snow-tipped mountains. (Developers) are planning
for the entertainment of those who care to enjoy trips across the lake."
This is not a contemporary advertisement for recreational timeshares. Nor is it a
promotion for a strictly vacation development. The newspaper article, written in 1912,
describes an abortive agricultural development in southern Utah Valley, "Mosida-by-the-Lake."
The "beautiful and transparent foreground" is Utah Lake.
