My ex lives there and he is totally nuts.
My grandmother lived in Kaysville, and I stayed a week or so with her when I was about 19 yrs. old. I went to the wood-made post-office for her (right around the corner from where she lived).
Her 2nd husband had a speeding deal for people going too fast through the small community, whereas the police would give them a speeding ticket and the offender paid the debt in my grandmother's living rm., via her current (at the time) husband. As a 'thank-you' for sending in the customers, they pierodacclly gave the officer a cash-reward. The downtown street was about 6 blocks long. (And yes, it was a deliberate speed trap.)
So how else is one going to 'earn' a living there without such a scam?
At that time, it basically was a Mormon farming community. However, I couldn't tell you if that is true today.
Also, the local Ward had bats in its bell-free--really. So, it helped keep the attendees amused during the services (at least me).
Also, in winter--when the snow was thick enough to cover the 3 ft. board which covered the water-ditch, one had to be careful to guess correctly just where the ditch step-over was hidden under the snow.
Now, back to your question: At the time I went there, it was (as to my supposition), just about an all-Mormon town--not to say that everybody automatically went to church.
One of my father's sisters had a farm down the dirt lain from my grandmother's house. While she and my father are long-gone now, I am still in touch with one of my Aunt's sons.
Something else: Where we in busy So. Calif. all know to lock our car doors to keep a car from being stolen, my Aunt used to kid me about my question as to why they kept their car keys in their vehicle, which they kept in the barn--with it's doors wide open. She said, "Who's going to steal the car, the cows?"
Well, It wasn't the cows who stole the car in the wide-spread dirt road one used to get to the barn. Instead, it was a genuine car thief who likely well knew the habits of farmers around the town, and drove it away--never to be seen again. Of course, no one dreamed of bothering to get car-theft insurance.

A quick google search shows 2 Baptist churches, a Presbyterian church, an Assembly of God church, a Church of Christ, and a Bible church (with the same address of one of the baptist churches).
I know Kaysville well. Might as well be the KKK or a Mafia crime if you're not a member.If you're not a member- run away. I hate that place.
My husband's parents moved the family to Kaysville back in the 70s. They weren't Mormon and had no clue as to the local culture. Both parents smoked and his dad was the regional sales manager for Miller Brewing Co. They were pariahs in the neighborhood.
It's pretty obvious it's totally mormon if it has a Gentile Street.

Buckle up for this.
Kaysville is home to many polygamist including the Kingstons.
Also there used to be a small older house where the polygamists believe a resurrected Joseph Smith and Jesus appeared to John Taylor and commanded him to set apart people to continue polygamy.

Do they still make Clover Club potato chips?

Uh, you took my response, lol. My ex lives there, with a couple of my kids, and yes she is nuts and so is the environment.
OK, as a human being she is pretty good. Brainwashed? Yes. My 16 year old suffering from the Morg-dominated environment? Yes, but surviving.
Never been there, but Kaysville sounds like the epicenter of Mormonism and cult beliefs.

I have some ultra TBM relatives there who seem like they're straight outta the 1970s. Hideous clothing n hair styles. Very self righteous and annoying.
Nope! You'd be the first and, of course, the best!
That's how trends start though.

Not entirely, but mainly MoronicPriesthood types.
Not as insular and bigoted as Brigham City.
