Salt Lake City is the capital and most populous city of Utah, with a population of 199,723 at the 2020 census and a metropolitan area of approximately 1.3 million residents representing the 46th-largest metropolitan area in the United States. Founded in 1847 by Brigham Young and Mormon pioneers seeking religious freedom, the city developed an extensive irrigation network in its semi-arid valley location and became known as "The Crossroads of the West" due to mining booms, the first transcontinental railroad, and the 1913 Lincoln Highway, with Interstate 15 and Interstate 80 now intersecting downtown. Salt Lake City has developed a robust economy centered on skiing, outdoor recreation, religious tourism, and industrial banking, hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics and being selected to host the 2034 Winter Olympics on July 24, 2024. The city is home to the University of Utah, a major research institution, and is known for its politically liberal culture and significant LGBT community, which contrasts sharply with the conservative leanings of the rest of Utah. Current challenges include severe water security issues from sustained drought that has lowered the Great Salt Lake to record levels and exposed arsenic deposits, along with seismic risk from the nearby Wasatch Fault. Kaysville is a city in Davis County, Utah, part of the Ogden-Clearfield metropolitan area, with a 2020 population of 32,945 residents spread across 10.5 square miles. Originally settled in 1847 by Hector Haight as a farming community and named after William Kay, who became bishop in 1851, Kaysville became the first incorporated city in Davis County in 1868 and now hosts the USU Botanical Gardens as an extension and distance education center for Utah State University. The city has a young, family-oriented demographic with a median age of 29.9 years, 77% married-couple households, and a median household income of $103,730 as of 2020. Kaysville is bordered by Layton to the north and Farmington to the south, with notable history including the 1914 Kaysville Tabernacle and the 1977 United Airlines Flight 2860 crash nearby. The city has grown significantly from 992 residents in 1930 and maintains strong religious roots with seven Mormon stakes established by 2008. Provo is the county seat of Utah County, Utah, located 43 miles south of Salt Lake City along the Wasatch Front, and serves as the principal city of the Provo-Orem-Lehi metropolitan area with a 2020 population of 115,162, making it Utah's fourth-largest city. The city is home to Brigham Young University (BYU), operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and houses the LDS Church's largest Missionary Training Center. Originally called Timpanogas by the Ute people who inhabited the area, the city was established by 33 Mormon families in 1849 as Fort Utah and renamed Provo in 1850 after French-Canadian trapper Étienne Provost, becoming known as the "Garden City" for its numerous orchards. Provo's economy developed from textile manufacturing beginning with the Provo Woolen Mills in 1872 to heavy industry with the Columbia Steel Company blast furnace plant in 1923-1924, and today serves as a major technology hub with several billion-dollar startups. The city's Peaks Ice Arena hosted events during the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics and sits at an elevation of 4,549 feet on the eastern bank of Utah Lake.
