On July 24, 1847, the city was established by a Mormon Pioneers group. The city's founding pioneers were led by Brigham Young and consisted of two children, three women, and 143 men. The Mormons searched for freedom to practice their religion in areas characterized by the absence of persecution and mobs. Brigham and his affiliates began planting crops and tilling the soil upon settling in the valley. The city was first named Great Salt Lake City after the salty inland lake dominating the west and desert. In 1848, more emigrants settled in the city. The city was built into a cosmopolitan center. Mormon pioneers enriched their skills, languages, and culture. The Mormon temple construction began in 1853, completed in 1892. More emigrants joined the valley during the California gold rush. Despite immense prosperity resulting from the gold rush trade, agriculture was still the main economic activity. The transcontinental railroad was built in 1869, connecting Utah to the West and East. Between the 1860s to 1920s, several gold, silver, copper, and lead mines were opened in the neighboring canyons. Enormous shelters were developed, and affluent mine owners started building residential homes. Brigham Street was formed in the process. Huge smelters were later constructed to refine the ore. Some prosperous mine owners created large, gracious homes along with South Temple, once known as Brigham Street. Since then, estates, shopping malls, and roads have been developed to keep up with the demands of the city's growing population. The city is growing from a colorful past to an exhilarating present and hopeful future. You should invest in Salt Lake City, UT real estate and benefit from the expanding economy.
