I live in salt lake and would say it has the largest concentration of mormans as percentage of total population. But most mormans in the US live out of slc. Out of Utah in fact.

No, definately not. While Salt Lake City is the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), most American Mormons live outside of Utah. (There are 6,060,000 baptized Mormons in the United States, and 1,884,000 of those live in Utah.) So, less than 1/3 of American Mormons live in Utah.
Most Mormons in Utah live outside of Salt Lake City. The city itself is actually quite liberal and diverse, and the homes are small and expensive compared to the rest of the state. The suburbs surrounding Salt Lake City are where the majority of Mormons in Utah live. Some of the suburbs are more than 90% Mormon.
About 80,000 of the 6,060,000 American Mormons live in Salt Lake City, which is just over 1.3%.
The Mormons traveled to Utah and settled in the Salt Lake Valley. They established the city Salt Lake City.

Salt Lake City, Utah
They didn't.
Brigham Young
No, Brigham Young did not find Salt Lake City. He built it. He lead the Mormons from Illinois to Utah, and they built a city on shores of the great salt lake.
Salt Lake City, Utah
The Olympics were held as any other Olympics. The one held in Salt Lake was not sponsored by the Mormons and played no part in the American peoples acceptance of Mormons. Their acceptance is because of their high moral standards and family unity
They didn't really make a settlement on the Great Salt Lake, as there is swampy marshland surrounding the lake for several miles. The first city they settled in the area was Great Salt Lake City, later renamed Salt Lake City, which is about 20 miles from the nearest shore of the Great Salt Lake.Salt Lake City and other Mormon settlements in the area were a part of a territory the Mormons named Deseret.
