History: In 1873, William H. FŻvezac homesteaded 100 acres in the lower Sandy region, marking its pioneer history. Before turning fertile, the poorly drained region was greatly improved by canals, which enabled cultivated crops to flourish. Since an early developer proclaimed that the area looked like a sandy beach, early travelers frequently referred to it as "sand ridge." More settlers arrived in Sandy's area in the late 1870s, and in 1874 a schoolhouse was built that also served as a church, meeting house, and polling place. Sandy was officially named on April 26, 1878. It incorporated as a town on February 16, 1893, and as a city on August 24, 1973.
