Welcome to South Jordan, Utah.
South Jordan is a city in Salt Lake County in the U.S. state of Utah. The population was 29,437 at the 2000 census. South Jordan has been one of the fastest-growing cities in Utah since the early 1990s. Kennecott Land, a land development company, has recently begun construction on the master-planned Daybreak Community for the entire western half of South Jordan. This community could potentially double South Jordan's population.

South Jordan is located in the southwestern portion of the Salt Lake Valley. The city lies between the Oquirrh Mountains to the west, West Jordan to the north, the Jordan River and Sandy to the east, Draper to the southeast, Riverton to the south, and Herriman to the southwest. However, most of the western half of the city remains undeveloped. The elevation of South Jordan ranges from approximately 4,300 feet (1,310 meters) near the Jordan River in the east to about 5,200 ft (1,580 m) near the currently undeveloped western boundary.
Extensive recreational development is occurring in western South Jordan as part of the massive Daybreak Community. The focal point of development will be the artificially-created Oquirrh Lake. This lake will be 85 acres in size and will offer varied recreational opportunities, supporting an ecosystem of its own. The lake will be filled in three stages, with final completion expected by 2010.
Daybreak is a master-planned community over 4,000 acres (16 kmē) in size and located in South Jordan, Utah being built by Kennecott Land, a land development company that is a subsidiary of Rio Tinto Group. Home construction was begun in 2004 and the community is expected to be built-out by 2020. When completed, it will contain more than 13,600 residential homes and 9.1 million square feet (850,000 mē) of commercial space. By 2009, the Mid-Jordan Line of the UTA TRAX light rail system is expected to reach the Daybreak Community. The Mountain View Corridor, when constructed, will also provide access to Daybreak, and Bangerter Highway lies along the eastern edge.
