City Hall/Butlerville Walk

East of 2300 East, this land was originally dry and barren before a branch of the Brown and Sanford Irrigation Ditch was extended. The Ditch began operating in 1874 from water stored at the Three Sisters Lakes (Blanche, Lillian, and Florence). With available water, farmers grew strawberries, potatoes, peas and other crops. To the west was mostly a sand hill where it was difficult to grow anything.
