History
The district was created in 1904 with 4,258 students.
[2] Its name and original boundaries were taken from the Granite
Stake of the LDS Church, which at the time spanned nearly the entire breadth of the Salt Lake Valley from
Mill Creek in the east to
Hunter in the west, and from roughly
Sugar House in the north to
Bennion in the south.
