How did salt lake city utah get it’s name?

Answer #1

It is recorded that when Brigham Young saw the valley, the first words he uttered were, “This is the place.” That very day, Brigham Young’s followers, began tilling the soil and planting crops. And over the next few days, plans were drawn for their future city, which was initially called “Great Salt Lake City”.

It was named after the salty inland lake that dominated the desert in the west. (The word,”Great” was dropped from the name in 1868.)
