Utah

It was the 45th state admitted to the Union on January 4, 1896. Approximately 80 percent of Utah’s 2,736,424 people live along the Wasatch Front, centering around Salt Lake City. In contrast, vast expanses of the state are nearly uninhabited, making the population the sixth most urbanized in the U.S. The name “Utah” is derived from the Ute Indian language, meaning “people of the mountains.”

  1. It is not widely known that Utah was the source of many pioneer settlements located elsewhere in the West. From the beginning, Salt Lake City was seen as only the hub of a “far-flung commonwealth” of Mormon settlements. Fed by a constant supply of church converts coming from the East and around the world, Church leaders often assigned groups of church members to establish settlements throughout the West.

  2. Sometimes persons think that Utah is the best place on earth, I have to constantly remind them that the earth is a big place and that some places in Egypt or even Norway may be better than simple old Utah. But then again Utah does have Beaver!
