Salt Lake City, Utah Executive Search City Snapshot:

Welcome to Salt Lake City, the “Crossroads of the West.” Salt Lake City (SLC) is the capital of Utah and the only three-word state capital in the US. Remember that if you’re ever on Jeopardy. But, most people know Salt Lake City as the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS Church). SLC grew in the mid 18th century as a safe haven for religiously persecuted Mormons. Brigham Young and his Mormon followers founded this city after extensively irrigating and cultivating the Salt Lake Valley. Even today the Salt Lake City metro area sits in an arid, largely undeveloped portion of Northern Utah. Still, the metro area is growing in both population and employment opportunities. Today, religion has less influence over city politics than it once did, as less than half of SLC’s population is a member of the LDS Church. Some notable natives of Salt Lake City include: Maude Adams, Rosanne Barr, Wilford Brimley, Nolan Bushnell, Neal Cassady, “Big Bill” Haywood, Kim Peek (Rain Man), John Warnock, Loretta Young, and Steve Young.

Before American settlers moved out West the Shoshone, Paiute and Ute Native Americans lived in the Salt Lake Valley. The state of Utah gets its name from the Ute tribe of Native Americans in the area. Explorers like Jim Bridger and John C. Frémont surveyed the territory in the first half of the 1800s. They helped pave the way for pioneers who travelled through the Great Basin and over the Sierra Nevada Mountains to California and the Pacific Coast. Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, a new religion was catching on.

On April 6th, 1830, Joseph Smith and his followers officially organized the Church of Christ. Smith travelled around the Midwest, converting people to his new religion, before setting up a city in Nauvoo, Illinois. Factions started growing within the Church of Christ, especially after Smith began revealing the doctrine of plural marriage in 1841. In 1844 Smith and his brother were murdered by an angry mob of dissenting Mormons.

In 1847 Brigham Young took over as President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He led a group of his followers through a desert to a “promised land” out in Mexican Territory. This earned Young the nickname “American Moses.” Only July 24, 1847 Young came to the Salt Lake Valley and allegedly exclaimed: “It is enough. This is the place. Drive on.” Four days later Young designated the building site for the Salt Lake Temple. The Temple, which was not completed until 1893, is now the city’s main historic landmark.

Mormon pioneers who settled in Salt Lake City organized a new state, which they named Deseret, and petitioned the US government to recognize it as a state. Deseret expanded through present-day Utah, Nevada, northern Arizona, southern California, and parts of Oregon, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming. Not surprisingly, the US government did not recognize Deseret. Instead, the federal government set up Utah Territory (substantially smaller) and requested Brigham Young step down as governor. The US government was not a supporter of the widespread Mormon practice of polygamy. Tensions between the federal government and Mormons culminated in the 1857-1858 Utah war. While there were many casualties, no actual battles were fought during the war, often dubbed the “Mormon Rebellion.” The conflict resulted in Young stepping down as governor and the citizens of Utah accepting federal authority.

Mormons continued to practice polygamy openly until 1890, when the LDS Church released “The Manifesto.” The Manifesto stated that Church members obey the laws of land, which in this case meant US laws against polygamy. This helped open the door for Utah to gain statehood in 1896. When Utah became a state, Salt Lake City became its capitol.

In 1869 the First Transcontinental Railroad was completed at Promontory Summit, just north of the Great Salt Lake. A year later, a railroad line reached Salt Lake City, making travel to and from the city more feasible. As a result, the city’s population grew steadily until the 1960s, when suburbanization started to occur. Although SLC’s population growth is now somewhat stagnant, the Salt Lake City Metropolitan Area continues to expand. In 2002 Salt Lake City hosted the Winter Olympics. The Winter Olympics turned out to be a financial success. The games helped SLC revamp its freeway and rail systems, brought in millions for the city’s restaurant and hospitality industries, and drew in waves of tourists. As of April 2013, SLC has expressed interest in bidding on the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Population: 186,440
Metropolitan Area: 1.1 Million
Major Industries: Government, Trade, Transportation, Utilities, Mining, Oil Refining, Hospitality and Tourism and Business services
Attractions: Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Natural History Museum of Utah, Temple Square and Brigham Young Complex

According to 2010 Census data, 186,440 people live in Salt Lake City and 1.1 million people live in the Salt Lake City metro area. Salt Lake City is about 109 square miles in land area, making the population density around 1,710 people per square mile. This is fairly low compared to other large US cities. There is a lot of room in Utah for population growth, as the SLC metro area continues to expand outward. There are around 80,700 housing units in SLC. The average household size is approximately 2.4 people and the percentage of family households is around 53%. In Utah the average household size is 2.9 people and 75% of households contain families.

In the past, most of Salt Lake City’s economy was based around mining, oil refining, and railroad industries. Today the city’s economy is mostly service-oriented. Salt Lake City’s major industries include: government, trade, transportation, utilities, and business services. Weekday commuters raise the city’s population from 186,000 to over 315,000. Mining and transportation are still important; the city’s economy has just become more modern and diversified. The nearby Bingham Canyon Mine is the largest open-pit mine in the US and Salt Lake City International is the 22nd busiest airport in the world. Hospitality & tourism is another important piece of SLC’s economy. Since the city hosted the 2002 Winter Olympic Games winter tourism has boosted the area’s hotel, restaurant, and recreation industries.
