American Fork City was settled by Mormon pioneers in the summer of 1850. At a conference on September 18, 1852, it was decided to lay out a city on June 4, 1853. American Fork City was also known for a time as McArthursville, taking the name in all probability from Duncan McArthur, who owned a farm between American Fork City and Pleasant Grove City, and after whom the McArthur irrigation ditch was named. One of the first local commercial enterprises was the Arza Adams gristmill; the general mercantile business of Marx and McKenzie came in 1852. By the 1860's, American Fork City had established a public school, making them the first community in the territory of Utah to offer public education to its citizens.
