w USA in the
Rocky Mountains; the state capital is
Salt Lake City, other cities include Provo and Ogden. The region was ceded to the USA at the end of the
Mexican War in 1848, and Utah was admitted to the Union in 1896. The influence of the
Mormon Church is strong in the state, and in 1857–58 there were conflicts between federal troops and the Mormons. In the
n the Wasatch Range separates the mountainous
e from the Great Basin, which includes the
Great Salt Lake. The arid climate hinders agriculture, but hay, barley, wheat, beans, and sugar beet grow with the aid of irrigation. The chief farming activity is stock raising.
