| With a population (2010) approaching 200,000, Salt Lake City is the most populous settlement in the US State of Utah, and is the state capital. The city was founded in 1847 as Great Salt Lake City by a group of Mormon pioneers led by their prophet, Brigham Young. It lies in the northeast corner of the Salt Lake Valley surrounded by the Great Salt Lake to the northwest and the steep Wasatch and Oquirrh mountain ranges on the eastern and western borders. |

| "The first house built in Utah was erected in 1847, under the direction of Brigham Young, by the Pioneers who reached Salt Lake valley July 24th of that year. The material used was rough logs, and slabs cut from same for the roof. The crevices between logs were filled with mud. For preservation it has been placed under a Pergola on Temple Block."
