History

Prior to 1877 the area was part of the Apache Reservation. White settlers were allowed in that year. members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints first settled in the area in 1878 and an organized group of settlers was sent there by the church in 1881 with Luther C. Burnham being prominent among them. Burnham was made bishop of the LDS ward there in 1883, which was named the Burnham Ward. From this time until the 1930s most of the reidents called the area Burnham instead of Fruitland. [Jenson, Andrew. "Encyclopedic History of the CHurch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." (Salt Lake City: Deseret News Press, 1941) p. 100]

For a time Brigham Young, Jr. maintained one of his residences at Fruitland. [LDS Church News, December 4th, 2004]

In 1930 the Burnham Ward had 718 members, including unbaptized children under age eight. [Jenson, Andrew. "Encyclopedic History". p. 101]

The Young Stake was organized with headquarters at Burnham in 1912. By the 1970s the stake headquarters had shirted to Farmington. [LDS Church Almanac, 2007, p. 241] In 1982 a Kirtland Stake was formed, which today covers from Kirtland west to Shiprock, New Mexico and beyond.
