Origin of Alpine's Name
Settled in the fall of 1850 by cattlemen W.H. Hooper,
Quincy Knowleton, and George M. Burgess, the community was originally called Fort Wordsworth, after William S. Wordsworth. It was later named Dry Creek Settlement
and Mountainville. The name was changed to Alpine at
the time of incorporation because the area reminded
Brigham Young of the Swiss Alps.

Date of Incorporation: January 19, 1855
