Utah general facts and info
Development of coal mines, railroads, and other industries beckoned the "new immigrants" during the early decades of the twentieth century, and Greeks, Italians, Slavs, Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans, and other ethnic groups further enriched Utah's cultural fabric.
Though troubled by the Great Depression of the 1930s, Utah's economy found new life during and after World War II. Defense, mining, steel, and petroleum-refining industries led the economic surge at mid-century. Tourism, recreation (especially skiing), light manufacturing, and the service industries have recently emerged as economic pillars.
During Utah's centennial year of 1996, its population topped 2 million people. Due to the state's larger-than-average family size and its strong rate of immigration, robust growth is projected well into the future.
