'''Bountiful''' is a city in [[Davis County, Utah|Davis County]], [[Utah]]. As of the [[2020 United States Census|2020 census]], the city population was 45,762, an eight percent increase over the 2010 figure of 42,552.<ref name="2020QF">{{cite web|title=QuickFacts: Bountiful city, Utah|website=[[United States Census Bureau]]|url=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/bountifulcityutah/POP010220|access-date=July 27, 2023}}</ref> The city grew rapidly during the [[suburb]] growth of the late 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s and was Davis County's largest city until 1985, when it was surpassed by [[Layton, Utah|Layton]]. Bountiful is Utah's 18th-largest city.

Although a part of the [[Ogden–Clearfield metropolitan area]], it serves as a [[bedroom community]] to Salt Lake City and the surrounding area. However, due to the very narrow entrance into Salt Lake County, roads between the counties often reach near-[[gridlock]] traffic during [[rush hour]]. The ''[[FrontRunner]]'' [[Commuter rail in North America|commuter rail]] has been running since April 2008, and the [[Legacy Parkway]] was opened on September 13, 2008. These were built to help alleviate the traffic load on [[Interstate 15 in Utah|Interstate 15]] through the Bountiful area.

==History==
[[File:Bountiful Utah Historic District.jpeg|thumb|left|A home in Bountiful's Historic District]]
Bountiful was settled on September 27, 1847, by Perrigrine Sessions and his family. It was Utah's second settlement after [[Salt Lake City, Utah|Salt Lake City]]. It was known as Sessions Settlement and North Canyon Ward before being named Bountiful in 1855. This city was so named both because of the city's reputation as a great place for gardening and because "[[Bountiful (Book of Mormon)|Bountiful]]" is the name of a city in the [[Book of Mormon]] (Alma 52:9).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=sa9SAAAAIBAJ&sjid=c38DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6741%2C5066695|title=You name it - there's a town for it|work=The Deseret News|date=January 22, 1977|access-date=October 18, 2015|author=Van Atta, Dale|page=15}}</ref> Most of the settlers, and also many of the present inhabitants, are members of [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (LDS). The city also shares 14 other religious institutions, including a Catholic school and church, Saint Olaf School, established in 1959. The [[Bountiful Utah Temple]] was dedicated in 1995 by the LDS Church. A [[Tabernacle (LDS Church)|tabernacle]] of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is also located in Bountiful.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Whitney |first=Orson Ferguson |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=C0cOAAAAIAAJ&dq=Bountiful,+Utah+Perrigrine+Sessions&pg=RA1-PA103 |title=History of Utah: Biographical |date=1904 |publisher=G. Q. Cannon |language=en}}</ref>

The city was incorporated in 1892 with [[Joseph L Holbrook]] as mayor.{{citation needed|date=December 2019}}

The city celebrates its history at the annual [http://www.handcartdays.org Handcart Days] celebration every July in conjunction with the U.S. State of Utah's official holiday, [[Pioneer Day (Utah)|Pioneer Day]]. Handcart Days is a volunteer-driven event. People from Six cities in the south of [[Davis County, Utah]] come together to commemorate the first group of [[Mormon Pioneers]]’ entry into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847. The festivities include a parade, fireworks, games, entertainment, an art exhibit, and food.

==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of 13.5&nbsp;square miles (34.9&nbsp;km{{sup|2}}), all land.
