Kaysville is considered an active community, bordered by the cities Layton and Farmington. About 22 miles from Salt Lake City, Kaysville is flanked by the Wasatch Mountain range in the east and marshes of the Great Salt Lake in the west – a location that encourages outdoor recreation as well as new construction, due to the open land available to build on. What was once a quaint farming community for pioneers in the 1850s has kept its small-town vibes while expanding to include big-city amenities for its population of over 33,700 people.
Major industries in the area are manufacturing, agriculture, finance and technical services. Kaysville’s top employers include Shipley Associates, Fusion Imagines, Avisae and Wells Fargo.
