Hyde Park at a glance

Cache County · Utah

Hyde Park in Cache Valley was settled in 1860, when William Hyde picked the site in April and sixteen families had settled by a spring there by July 1. Ezra T. Benson and Peter Maughan organized the settlement and gave it his name. Irrigation shaped the early town: the Logan-Hyde Park Canal was finished in 1861 and the Logan-Richmond Canal reached the area by 1866. Hyde Park was incorporated as a town in 1892, and its band, formed in 1882, was known across the valley.

The city website brings together meetings and agendas, budget and financial reports, the municipal code, planning, building, public works and utilities pages, business licensing, forms and a park and facility reservation system. Council meetings are usually held on Wednesday evenings in person and by Zoom. Before a land-use change, read the planning page and the latest agenda together, because recent zoning ordinances are announced on the home page.
