Roots & Stories
Downtown Salt Lake City has always been the gathering place of the region. Founded as the center of the original settlement in 1847, the downtown area grew from a planned city grid into the cultural and economic heart of Utah.
Historic landmarks, including Temple Square and early commercial buildings, tell the story of the city's beginnings, while modern developments continue to reshape the skyline and introduce new ways to live, work, and play.
Today, downtown is experiencing a new chapter—one that celebrates its history while embracing a more walkable, connected future. Old brick buildings stand alongside modern towers, local businesses thrive beside longtime institutions, and every street reflects the city's ongoing evolution.
