Mapleton Real Estate History
The area now known as Mapleton was first settled in 1850, and was for a time known as Union Bench. It started out as an agricultural extension of Springville. Legal action between residents of Springville and what became Mapleton, largely over water rights, allowed Mapleton to chart its own course beginning in 1901, and it was finally incorporated as a city in 1948.
Today Mapleton is still a somewhat rural area, but is rapidly suburbanizing in the wake of development. A number of large subdivisions have sprung up in recent years and more are approved to be developed in the near future. None of the city touches I-15, which has helped in keeping the city more rural than neighboring Springville and Spanish Fork.
