West Point, where the county runs out before the water starts.

For being the west end of Davis County and for still farming a great deal of it. The city's own General Plan states that much of the community is zoned for agricultural uses and that a large portion of the land inside the boundary is therefore open space with few or no buildings, and it names two agricultural zoning districts whose stated purpose is to promote and preserve agriculture. The town has no historic district and says so in the same document. What it does have is a thirty foot landform called Schneiter's Bluff, two and a half miles of a paved path on an emigrant wagon road, and the northern terminus of a new state highway.

The city gives two accounts and will not choose. Its General Plan says some say the city was named after the military academy in New York, while others say it was named after its location as being one of the more western portions of land within Davis County, before reaching the Great Salt Lake. A place names reference adds a third, that the settlement sat on a point or small peninsula extending into the lake. The area was known unofficially as South Hooper first and later as Muskrat Springs, and the renaming happened in 1910. The practical city guide on this site asserts the academy account three times, which is more certainty than any source supports.

Neither. Farmington Bay is the arm of the Great Salt Lake south of the Antelope Island causeway, and West Point lies north of that causeway, so it is a different body of water entirely. The city does not reach the lake either: point probes across the whole western half of the municipality return unincorporated Davis County at every latitude tested, so the shorelands, the Howard Slough Waterfowl Management Area and the open water all sit beyond the city limit on county ground. The city's own parks plan is careful about this and describes the lake and the marsh as defining the western edge of the community rather than as being in it.

No, and the city says so itself. The General Plan Update adopted 17 December 2024 states that although the city was founded in the mid 1800s, the overall community does not possess a centralised historic district or overall historic architectural feel. There is no museum, no tabernacle and no named pioneer building on any city page, and no national register listing was found for the city, though the register was not queried directly. The city's adopted response is a recommendation rather than an asset: conduct a cultural resources assessment, document the critical cultural elements, and compile the results into a trail or a map. That work has not been done.

Because the whole northwest quadrant of Davis County runs on one address system and one postcode, and both are centred on Clearfield. All 4,618 address points inside West Point carry Clearfield as their address system, as do every point in Syracuse, Clinton and Sunset, which is more than 41,000 points across five cities measured from a single origin. Most West Point addresses sit in postcode 84015, which is a Clearfield postcode shared with Clearfield, Sunset and Clinton. Fifty addresses on 4500 West and 5000 West at the far northwest corner instead carry 84315, which is Hooper in Weber County, and that is the town's old name of South Hooper surviving in the mail.

The city publishes three different answers for 2050 in two adopted documents, and each one was produced by a different method. Its General Plan Update of 2024 extrapolates the average growth rate over the last four censuses and reaches 39,036 residents by 2050. Its Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan of 2023, working from city staff data, gives a build out population of 23,280 inside the current boundary and an additional 12,600 residents in the annexation area, for 35,880. The state's own most recent estimate for the city is 11,892. None of the three is a regional planning agency forecast, and reporting them separately is more honest than averaging them.

A thirty foot step running southeast to northwest through the middle of West Point, and the city's only landform. The Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan describes it descending abruptly nearly thirty feet toward the Great Salt Lake and the Howard Slough State Waterfowl Management Area, and states that lands below the bluff to the west are characterised by high water tables while those above it to the east are generally well drained. The same step gives the paved path along it two of its four names, sits above one of the three city parks, lends its name to a privately operated 18 hole golf course of 136.3 acres, and marks the line at roughly 4100 West between two culinary water providers.

The city calls it the Emigrant Trail and publishes that 2.5 miles of it lie inside the city boundary, running north to south and ending at 1300 North just west of the highway alignment. Aggregators call the same path the Old Emigration Trail, the Bluff Trail and the Syracuse Trail. It follows the route of the Old Emigrant Road, the wagon cut off that ran from Salt Lake City toward southern Idaho. As of 20 August 2026 it is not fully open: the state transportation department publishes that the section between 700 South and 300 North closed to the public on 13 August 2026 for utility work, hauling, pile driving and new trail construction, with portions anticipated to reopen by the end of November.

On the Fourth of July. The 2026 celebration fell on Saturday 4 July and the city published a parade, a five kilometre run with a two mile walk, three on three basketball, horseshoe, cornhole and volleyball tournaments, a baby contest, an art competition, food trucks, vendors, entertainers and fireworks, with a four person golf scramble the morning before at seven at Schneiter's Bluff Golf Course for sixty dollars a head including lunch. Vendor, entertainer and parade entry applications for 2026 opened on 1 March at ten in the morning. No 2027 dates are published, and the fall and Christmas markets held at the same park are a private promoter's events rather than the city's.
