The Logan, Hyde Park, and Smithfield Canal Company was originally incorporated in 1889 to manage the Logan, Hyde Park, and Smithfield Canal, which runs from the Logan River through northern Cache Valley. Its first board members were Hyrum W. Maughan, Edward Hanson, C. Nyman, N.W. Crookston, and Lars C. Petersen. During the twentieth century, an Irrigation Company by the same name was established, which has since been reincorporated under a different name. This Canal Company remains active as of 2018.
This collection consists of several versions of the Articles of Incorporation for both the Canal Company and the Irrigation Company as well as correspondence concerning the operation of the companies. Important correspondents include C. Lauritzen, Geo Maughan, and Fred Smith, Joseph Waite, Lorenzo Petersen, and G.C. Walker (one-time directors of the Canal Company); Leo Krebs (a director of the Irrigation company) the Cache County Attorney’s Office, the Office of the Utah State Engineer, and the Smithfield Irrigation Company. These items may be of interest to those researching the legal formation and day-to-day operation of Utah irrigation companies in the twentieth century.
