Historical Description

In 1847, Salt Lake City was founded by 143 men, three women and two children on the east shore of the Great Salt Lake. These members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also called Mormons, had fled the eastern states primarily because of religious persecution and discrimination. They were the first white people to settle in Utah.
