In 1915, the Layton Sugar Company processing factory was opened. This facility produced refined sugar made from sugar beets. At one time, the Layton Sugar Company was the largest employer in Davis County. Local farmers raised the beets and local residents processed those beets into sugar. Mountain Brand Sugar, produced by the Layton Sugar Company, was sold in stores as far away as California and Montana.
