Woodland is a census-designated place (CDP) in Summit County, Utah, United States. The population was 335 at the 2000 census and 375 at 2020 census.

Woodland was first settled along the Provo River by Hans Larsen(1861). In 1864, Larsen donated a portion of land to the LDS Church in order to build a meeting house, which he would construct. Larsen chose the name Woodland in recognition of the large timbers and railroad ties harvested from the area. Woodland was officially recognized as a Utah Territory settlement in 1867.

Since 2000, there has been attempts to incorporate the CDP. When the proposal to incorporate as its own town stalled, there was another proposal for the CDP to be at least partially annexed into the neighboring town of Francis.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 2.3 square miles (6.0 km²), all land. The town is at the southernmost point of the Kamas Valley. Much of the town is dominated by the Provo River's natural floodplain. However, a levee keeps most of the river from reaching its northern branches. The Provo River has steep, prominent benches as it passes through Woodland.
