Although Enterprise was a town in 2000, it has since been classified as a fifth-class city by state law. Enterprise received a large boost in its population in 1903 following a severe earthquake that decimated the nearby town of Hebron, Utah When the residents of Hebron realized the damage caused to their homes, and that Enterprise less than ten miles away had almost no damage it was decided to abandon Hebron and most of its residents migrated to Enterprise. All of the early residents were Mormon Settlers and they worked on a project to build a dam on a tributary to Shoal Creek and create the Enterprise Reservoir. Enterprise is home to two schools, Enterprise Elementary School (K-6)and Enterprise High School (7-12).
