Salt Lake City is the state capital and most populous city in the state of Utah. Its population as of the 2000 Census was 181,743. The Salt Lake City-Ogden metropolitan area, defined as Salt Lake, Davis, and Weber counties by the federal government, had a population of 1,333,914 as of 2000. The valley is surrounded by mountains that rise up to 6,500 ft (1,980 m) above the valley floor. Named after nearby Great Salt Lake, the city is separated from the lake's shore by marshes and mudflats. The city is considered one of the most historically important cities in the Western United States. Founded in 1847 by a group of Latter-day Saints (also known as Mormons) led by their religious leader, Brigham Young, Salt Lake City is among the region's oldest cities and is the location of the headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mining and the railroad initially brought economic growth, and the city became known as the "Crossroads of the West". The city has developed a strong tourism industry and was host to the 2002 Winter Olympics. Salt Lake City offers almost any emphasis a nursing student would like to seek within a growing city with plentiful opportunity to practice.
