On Jan 19, 1855 the Legislature granted a city charter to Mountainville but because of the beautiful mountains surrounding it, Brigham Young, the Latter Day Saint Prophet, requested the name be changed to Alpine because it reminded him of the Swiss Alps.<ref name="Alpine Yesterdays">Alpine yesterdays - a history of Alpine, Utah County, Utah, 1850-1980 by Jennie Adams Wild.

In 1852, settlers in American Fork Creek, now known as American Fork, asked leaders from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to send surveyors to layout a townsite for them. The town was to be located a few miles north at the base of the mountains. The survey subsequently completed and by the spring of 1853 and settlers started building homes. They were soon counselled by church president, Brigham Young, to move into a fort because of expected Indian trouble. The women and children were moved to Salt Lake City. | |||
The first fort was called Wordsworth Fort and stood from 1853 to 1855. Its design wasn't a long term solution as the houses were integral sections of the wall. | The first fort was called Wordsworth Fort and stood from 1853 to 1855.

Published in Salt Lake City, Utah : Blaine Hudson Printing, 1982. 415 p., ill., ports. | In 1855, the walls of Wordsworth Fort were torn down and new walls were constructed about 30 ft out from the homes. The Big Fort walls stood from 1855 to 1868. Indian troubles subsided to the point it was safe to remove the fort walls by 1868. By that point in time, their removal was necessitated by the growth in population including many new settlers.<ref name="Alpine Yesterdays">Alpine yesterdays - a history of Alpine, Utah County, Utah, 1850-1980 by Jennie Adams Wild.
