State History

Utah is a state located in the western United States. It was admitted to the Union on January 4, 1896, as the 45th state. Utah was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Ute, Paiute, Goshute, and Navajo. The first Europeans to explore the area were Spanish explorers in the late 1700s.
