Hooper

History

Hooper was settled in 1854, and become a township in 1997 (about 15 years after a failed vote to incorporate). Over the next several years "it became evident that the township board could make plans and suggestions, but had no official power," so a vote to incorporate passed on May 2, 2000, with the city being officially incorporated on November 30, 2000.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 11.7 square miles (30.3 km2), of which 11.5 square miles (29.9 km2) is land and 0.2 square mile (0.4 km2) (1.45%) is water. Fremont Island in the Great Salt Lake is included in this city's boundary. On March 30, 2007, Glenn Barrow became the first Hooper mayor to visit the island in the city's brief history.
