Salt Lake City, UT
Salt Lake City is the capital of the state of Utah. The city itself houses a population approaching 200,000 people, while situated within the larger Salt Lake City metropolitan area with a population well over one million.
The city was founded in 1847 by Mormons seeking to escape religious persecution, led by Brigham Young. It was originally named “Great Salt Lake City” for its proximity to the Great Salt Lake, until the word “great” was dropped in 1868. Salt Lake City became known as the “Crossroads of the West” as immigration, mining booms and railroad construction ushered in economic growth.
Salt Lake City today is home to several museums, including the Church History Museum, operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Other museums include the Utah State Historical Society, Fort Douglas Military Museum and The Leonardo— a center of art, science and technology.
