Mosida is near the south-west shore of Utah
Lake, eleven miles north of Elberta. on December 5th, 1908, R.F.
Morrison, Joseph A Simpson, and J.E. Davis purchased 6,880 acres of
land to establish a new community. Within four to five years a
hotel, schoolhouse, post office, and general store were operating.
In 1915 the town was hopelessly in debt and by 1924 it was a ghost
town.
The community name was coined from the
first two letters of the three promoters, Morrison,
Simpson, and Davis.
