Utah

Utah is home to the Great Salt Lake. It is very salty. Salt is good on French fries. Try adding a comment. It was the [|45th state] admitted to the [|Union] on January 4, 1896. Approximately 80 percent of Utah's 2,736,424 people live along the [|Wasatch Front], centering around [|Salt Lake City]. In contrast, vast expanses of the state are nearly uninhabited, making the population the sixth most urbanized in the U.S.[|[][|4][|]] The name "Utah" is derived from the [|Ute Indian] language, meaning "people of the mountains."[|[][|5][|]] Utah is known for being one of the most religiously homogeneous states in the Union, with approximately 58 percent[|[][|6][|]] of its adult inhabitants claiming membership in [|The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints] (also known as the Mormon Church or the LDS Church), which greatly influences Utah culture and daily life. The home of the most famous locus on earth, the dirties birds (the seagull) and the busiest bees. Oh honey, and the most beautiful women. The state is a center of transportation, information technology and research, government services and mining as well as a major tourist destination for outdoor recreation. According to U.S. Census Bureau's population estimates, Utah is currently the fastest growing state in the United States as of 2008. [|[][|7][|]] [|St. George, Utah] was the fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States from 2000–2005. [|[][|8][|]] The highest birth rate in the nation. Family focused and community minded. The best non-government welfare system in any state,

A lovely and diverse place to live.
