	Utah Territory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The creation of the Utah Territory was partially the result of the petition sent by the Mormons who had settled in the valley of the Great Salt Lake starting in 1848.
		The controverseries stirred by the Mormon religion's dominance of the territory is regarded as the primary reason behind the long delay of 46 years between the organization of the territory and its admission to the Union in 1896 as the State of Utah, long after the admission of territories created after it.
		In contrast, the Nevada Territory, although more sparsely populated, was admitted to the Union in 1864, only three years after its formation, largely as a consequence of the Union's desire to consolidate its hold on the silver mines in the territory.
