Utah’s Founders

A Unique History

Utah became the 45th state in 1896, but the territory was acquired by the United States in 1848 as part of the treaty that ended the Mexico War. The name “Utah” is derived from an Apache Indian word (yuttahih), meaning “people of the mountains” and the state is named after the Native American Ute tribe.

The area was settled by Brigham Young when he and followers in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints arrived in Salt Lake City on July 24, 1847. The group fled religious discrimination in Illinois and survived a long trip through the treacherous Rocky Mountains. The isolation and remote location of Salt Lake City was appealing to the group after the persecution they had faced. By the end of 1847, the area was inhabited by nearly 2000 Mormons. Pioneer Day is celebrated each year to commemorate the strength and bravery of the Mormon settlers.

A Strong & Ever-Growing

Job Market

Utah’s citizens enjoy a high quality of life that is largely due to the state’s strong economy. Utah’s job market and industry are diverse, making it named one of the best states to start and grow a business. Not only have the number of jobs been increasing, but so have salaries across all income levels. The success of the state’s economy is largely attributed to smart decisions being made about issues that ultimately lead businesses to decide to locate and expand in states. These issues include things like quality of air and water, education, transportation, community growth, and technology.

Utah Is

The 11th Most Educated State

If you have school-age children, you likely care about Utah’s educational system. Even if you do not have children who will be enrolled in school, you want to live where people are educated as the residents will be your neighbors and coworkers and serving your healthcare, safety, financial, and other needs. You can rest assured that Utah will serve you well as it is the 11th most educated state in the United States based on its rankings in individual categories: 11th for educational attainment, or the ability to access and receive an education, 8th in quality of that education, and 2nd for the percentage of adults who have an associate’s degree or higher.

Utah’s higher education system includes 24 four-year universities and community and technical colleges. A statewide initiative, known as Finish in Four, was launched in 2014 to help students earn their Bachelor’s degree in four years while minimizing accrued debt with discounts given to students who enroll in a four-year educational program. The state also expanded educational programs with high earning potential in the areas of health, science, and engineering.

The Great Salt Lake offers

Beauty and Relaxation

The Great Salt Lake is the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi River and is approximately 75 miles long and 35 miles wide, covering approximately 2100 square miles. The average depth of the Great Salt Lake is 13 feet and the deepest point is 34 feet. The lake earned its name due to its high salt concentration as it has no outlets but receives intake from small tributary rivers bringing in salt that has dissolved in their fresh water.

The Great Salt Lake developed from the previous Lake Bonneville, an ice age lake that dried up as the earth became drier. The landscape around the Great Salt Lake was etched from the historical ice and waves, with some terraces visible 1000 feet above the lake’s surface. There are no fish in the Great Salt Lake due to the high salt concentration, but there are wetlands around the shoreline that serve as an important habitat for migrating and nesting birds. The white sand beach of Bridger Bay is a favorite for not only its aesthetic beauty, but also is an area where people enjoy floating in the calming water with gulls flying overhead.

Year-round

Fun in the Mountains

The slogan of Utah is Life Elevated®, and for good reason. There are seven popular mountain ranges that offer snow skiing, hiking, rock climbing, biking, camping, and overall outdoor enjoyment. There are 14 ski resorts in Utah with the average mountain snowfall at about 500 inches. With an inland geographic location, the snow is dry, leading avid skiers to dub the state’s slopes as having the world’s greatest powder. The Utah mountains also feature 11,000 miles of fishing streams. Here are some popular mountains for your enjoyment:

Rocky Mountains: Mount Ogden was the location of the 2002 Winter Olympic Downhill Ski races and Mount Timpanogos features a real glacier and cave tours
Uinta Mountains: Highest mountain range in Utah and home to 2000 lakes that are known for great trout fishing
Wellsville Mountains: One of the steepest areas of the Rocky Mountains and popular for hiking as it is only 14 miles long and 5 miles wide
Wah Wah Mountains: Located on the western edge of Utah in the desert and known for geological exploring, horseback riding, and ATV riding
La Sal Mountains: Located 8500 feet above the red rock Canyonlands and Arches National Parks, is the second highest mountain range and home to Manti-La Sal National Forest
Mineral Mountains: A favorite of those who love gems as this 28-mile long range is full of minerals and stone and is the largest exposed mass of solidified molten rock
Markagunt Plateau: Known for its beauty and volcanic field and is home to Brian Head Park that offers views of neighboring Arizona and Nevada and is a popular location for mountain biking and bird watching

Professional Sports
