| Description | Administrative History: In 1865 the citizens of Salem, Utah, decided to follow the example of the people of Spanish Fork who had earlier organized an irrigation company to take water out of the Spanish Fork River. They wanted to increase the agricultural capability of the area east of the existing Salem pond, which, due to the natural slope of the land, had been impossible to irrigate. Lyman Curtis and two of his brothers made a survey for the canal from the Spanish Fork River to the Payson... Collection includes articles of incorporation, company trust deeds, minutes of board meetings and resolutions, annual reports, legal documents, correspondence, tax records, receipts, and miscellaneous items relating to the function of the Salem Irrigation and Canal Company in Salem, Utah, between 1866 and 1979. Collection is arranged in four series: 1. Salem Irrigation and Canal Company minutes, 1866-1979. 2. Salem Irrigation and Canal Company legal documents, 1878-1957. 3. Salem Irrigation and Canal Company financial records, 1873-1978. 4. Salem Irrigation and Canal Company business records, 1907-1978. |
