The State of Utah (IPA: /ˈjuːtɔː/ or /ˈjuːtɑː/) is a western state of the Unite States of America. It was the 45th state admitted to the Union on January 4, 1896. Approximately 88 percent of Utah's 2,645,330 people, known as "Utahns", live in an urban concentration with Salt Lake City as the center, known as the Wasatch Front. In contrast, vast expanses of the state are nearly uninhabited, making the population the sixth most urbanized in the U.S. The name "Utah" is derived from the Ute Indian language, meaning "people of the mountains".
