The Timp neighborhood is located near some of the most historically significant sections of downtown. In the fall of 1850, early settlers converged upon what would later become downtown Provo. Though starting off small, downtown Provo and its surrounding areas, including the Timp neighborhood, quickly grew. Observing this, George A. Smith poignantly stated that, “considering the time it has been settled and the number of inhabitants, Utah is one of the most flourishing counties in the world.” (J. Marinus. Early History of Provo, Utah. J.M. Jensen, 1924.)
Historically, downtown Provo and its small surrounding neighborhoods were home to many local businesses including blacksmiths, lime kilns, and tailors, in addition to a local meat market. These small businesses spurred economic and population growth, and by 1852 over two hundred families lived within the City. Evidence of that growth and time period can be found in the number of historic landmarks and old homes in the Timp neighborhood.
Downtown Provo flourished in the 1950s and 1960s. Former Provo Mayor Lewis Billings recalled the bustling holiday season: “Clarks had carolers that would sing. There were horse-drawn carriages and chestnut carts…then Kress had to compete and came up with their own quartet, and they would try to out-sing each other. Downtown was a vital place.”
With economic activity shifting to malls in the 70s and 80s, the Timp neighborhood struggled when nearby shops were boarded up and abandoned. However, efforts to re-imagine downtown Provo as a culturally relevant community center began in the 1990s. Today, the Timp neighborhood is a residential oasis, bordered by thriving restaurants, retail, office space, schools, public parks, and recreational amenities.
