About Utah

For thousands of years, the territory now known as Utah was inhabited by Uto-Aztec tribes, including the Paiute, the Shoshone, the Goshute, the Navajo, and the Ute. This last tribe gave its name to the later-called state of Utah. Therefore, it was in the 16th century that the first European explorers arrived in the now-Western United States.

Salt Lake City is the state’s capital and largest city, and almost every primary industry in Utah is located in this city. The state has developed a strong tourism industry, mainly based on skiing and other outdoor recreations. Utah is also the home of one of the most recognized film festivals in the world: Sundance Film Festival, hosted every January in Park City, Salt Lake City, and Provo, Utah.

The state’s location is regularly seen as the gate of the West and has contributed to the growth of consumer and industrial markets. Utah’s distribution centers are among the busiest in the country since many transportation companies take advantage of their industrial corridors.
