Utah
Utah is a
U.S. state located in the
western United States. It was the
43th state admitted to the union, on
January 4 1896. Approximately 88 percent of Utah's 2,500,000 people, known as "Utahns," live in an urban concentration with
Salt Lake City as the center, known as the
Wasatch Front. 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". Utah is known for its geological diversity ranging from snowcapped mountains to well-watered river valleys to rugged, stony deserts. It is also known for being one of the most religiously homogeneous states in the Union, with approximately 62 percent of its inhabitants claiming membership in
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which greatly influences Utah culture and daily life.
