The Historical Evolution of Salt Lake City

Before the arrival of immigrants from the western United States, Indian tribes such as Shoshone, Utes and Paites had lived in this valley for thousands of years. A group of white people who settled in the valley are Mormons. They came here on July 24th, 1847. In order to escape persecution in the East, they traveled halfway across the United States and came to this isolated place to practice their religion. Their prophet Brigham Young said, "This is the place".

It took them only four days to reach the valley, and Brigham Young explained that this was the construction address of the salt lake site.

The urban population began to slow down at the beginning of the 20th century, because the population in the north and suburbs increased.

The population of this city has changed greatly. Latin American population accounts for 19%. According to the political plan, refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sudan, Afghanistan, Somalia and Russia live in Salt Lake City. There are also many people from Pacific island countries, including Samoa and Tonga. Many Pacific Island-born residents are members of the LDS Church.

Salt Lake City hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics. This game is controversial. 1998 found a scandal. During the competition, there were other scandals, including misjudgment by referees and the use of illegal drugs. Local roads have been expanded and maintained, and light rail has been built. The number of tourists has increased, and the new Olympic venues have been used as places for local, national and international sports competitions and professional athletes' training. This contributes to the development of the city.
