Utah was the home of many Native American tribes such as the Ute and Navajo tribes. The state’s name comes from the Ute tribe. It was first settled by European Americans in the 1840’s when the Mormon religion decided to move there because they needed a place to practice their religion without being discriminated against or persecuted. They decided to settle in the Salt Lake City area under the leadership of Brigham Young.
