Bountiful is Davis city. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 42,552, a three percent increase over the 2000 figure of 41,301. The city grew rapidly during the suburb growth of the late 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s and was Davis County's largest city until 1985, when it was surpassed by Layton.

These were built to help alleviate the traffic load on Interstate 15 through the Bountiful area. History Bountiful was settled on September 27, 1847, by Peregrine Sessions and his family.
