William Madison Wall(born 9/30/1821- died 9/18/1869)settled in 1862, a little valley East of Provo Canyon, known at the time to Native Americans as Little Warm Valley, to make a good safe place for his family and future families.

In 1862, William Wall built what was called Fort Wall to protect the families there from attacking Native Americans. 20 Families lived in the fort which was a total of 400 sq ft. The surrounding area outside of the fort was then known as Round Valley which was later renamed Wallsburg in memory of the founder William Madison Wall.]
