Capitol history
- After statehood came to Utah, there was no sudden rush to erect a capitol. The scars of forty years of strife were not sufficiently healed to permit unity to a degree that the people of Utah could work together toward the creation of their symbol of statehood, a state capitol.
Although the Salt Lake City fathers, in 1888, donated approximately twenty acres of land on the north bench overlooking the city, a building was not erected thereon until 1916. Almost thirty years elapsed from the beginning steps to the final completion of Utah's magnificent capitol. It was a trying period for those who worked valiantly for the building."

Tooele County —
Information Updated: Sep 28, 2009
|
|
|
Formed from: portions of Utah Territorial lands [an original county].
Established: 03-Mar-1852 |
County Seat: County Tooele, Utah
County history
- Tooele County: The territorial legislature first designated Tooele County initially called "Tuilla" in January 1850 with significantly different boundaries. It is thought that the name derives from a Native American chief, but controversy exists about whether such chief lived. Alternate explanations hypothesize that the name comes from "tu-wanda", the Goshute word for "bear", or from "tule", a Spanish word of Aztec origins meaning "bulrush". Tooele was one of the six original counties in Deseret, which would become Utah Territory.
