The town of Willard, about 45 miles (72 km) north of Salt Lake City, Utah was settled in 1851 and was originally named Willow Creek for the stream lined by willows which descended from a canyon and flows west toward the Great Salt Lake. It was later renamed Willard for Willard Richards, a Mormon apostle. One home in the district, the Lyman Wells House, was built in the early 1850s. The village was laid out largely in conformance to Mormon plans for a City of Zion. [2]

The district was listed on the NRHP June 25, 1974. [1]
