Honeyville, Utah
(Settled in 1866)
Two theories exist about the origin of this name: one holds that beekeeper Abraham Hunsaker named it because of his interest in the honey industry; the other, that its Latter-day Saint settlers named it as a reminder of the Biblical land of Canaan, a land "flowing with milk and honey."
