The Layton-Kaysville separation began at the LDS Church level first

IT is no secret that Layton community residents de-annexed from Kaysville City, from 1902-1907, to become their own, separate unincorporated area.
(Layton finally incorporated as a town in 1920.)
However, the move for Layton to become its own community had actually started a decade earlier in 1892.
According to the Davis County Clipper newspaper of May 6, 1892, members of the Kaysville Second Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints actually resided in what most recognized as Layton territory and not Kaysville. Hence, some Church members circulated a petition in 1892, asking Church leaders to rename the ward to what it really is -- the Layton Ward.
"We do not live in Kaysville City, nor Kaysville precinct, and why it is called the 2nd Ward of Kaysville we cannot understand," the newspaper report stated.
Just less than 4 months later, the Ward name change did take place.
“The members of second ward of Kaysville last Sunday decided to change the name to Layton Ward to so as to conform with the precinct and post office And hereafter it will be known by that name.” (-Davis County Clipper, Aug. 31, 1892.)

Kaysville used to be the No. 1 place for Layton resident burials, until Layton received a private cemetery option and after Kaysville City significantly raised non-resident burial fees.
