Holladay was officially incorporated on November 30, 1999, making it one of Salt Lake County newest cities. Located in the east part of the County below Mt. Olympus, Holladay City is one of the most naturally beautiful areas in the mountain west adjoining grand mountains with many trees and multiple flowing waterways. Holladay is borderedd on the north by Forty-eighth South, on the south by Cottonwood Lane, and on the west by Highland Drive.
Holladay was an unincorporated area of Salt Lake County and 15 years ago efforts were made by a dedicated group of citizens to incorporate the area as a separate entity, but many citizens voted against incorporation by a narrow margin. Salt Lake County, the Utah Supreme Court and/or the Utah State Legislature frustrated subsequent efforts and citizens weren’t allowed another incorporation vote until May 4, 1999. On that day, a better-informed citizenry voted by over 83% to approve incorporation and the City of Holladay was officially incorporated on November 30, 1999.
Residents overwhelmingly supported incorporation because of a profound desire to gain control of local planning and zoning. General Plan meetings were attended by a large number of enthusiastic Holladay residents, all excited to finally have a voice in the future of their community. A vast majority – if not all – of those attending wanted Holladay to maintain and even improve its rural atmosphere. Improvements made in the Holladay city include the following:
- Make the central Holladay business area more pedestrian friendly
- Create biking and walking trails through the community
- Curtail downsizing of building lots
- Preserve and increase trees and other vegetation
- Require large parking areas to include landscaping
