Vineyard

History

The community was named for grape vineyards near the original town site. According to some town residents, Vineyard first became a distinct place in 1899. The town incorporated in 1989. Vineyard was certified as a city of the 5th class (1,000–10,000 residents) during the summer of 2016. Prior to 2016, Vineyard was classified as a town. Population has grown dramatically since about 2012 due to redevelopment of the former Geneva Steel site which sits in Vineyard and was idle since Geneva went out of business in 2002. Starting in 2011, Utah Valley University purchased hundreds of acres in Vineyard to create a secondary campus a few miles west of their main facilities. In 2025, Utah state financial auditor Tina Cannon issued a report stating Vineyard had for the previous four years neglected to report to the state what she described as "substantial" financial transactions amounting to some $35 million. These transactions had been listed on Vineyard's general ledger, but had not been reported to a state-level transparency office as required by code.
