Woodruff at a glance
Rich County · Utah
Woodruff’s town history describes people exploring a new settlement south of Randolph in 1870 and a townsite survey in 1871. It connects the community’s name with Wilford Woodruff and recounts how local residents marked the news of Utah statehood by ringing the town bell.
The bell is a tangible thread between that historical account and the town hall. Woodruff’s municipal resources also include meeting records, forms, water files and plans. These offer a practical starting point for residents in a Rich County community whose local story is closely connected with the broader valley’s settlement and agricultural history.
