History

Kirtland was founded in the early 1880s by Mormon settlers, who named it after Kirtland, Ohio. (Reflecting its history and principal demographic, the city’s principal thoroughfare is Brigham Street, with a Mormon meetinghouse on the street and a release-time seminary building across the street from Kirtland Central High School.) There had been a few Mormons who had settled in Fruitland as early as 1878. As of 2000, Fruitland was designated as part of Kirtland for census purposes. Another Mormon settlement of these early days was Waterflow, just west of Fruitland, which appears on maps to this day. A Mormon meetinghouse was dedicated in Kirtland by Heber J. Grant in 1928.

The town incorporated in January 2015, after an 80–40 vote in favor of doing so.
