On May 10, 1869, the First Transcontinental Railroad was completed at Promontory Summit, north of the Great Salt Lake. It brought increasing numbers of people into the territory and many made fortunes there.Beginning in the early 20th century, with the establishment of such national parks as Bryce Canyon National Park and Zion National Park, Utah became known for its natural beauty. Southern Utah became a popular filming spot for the popular mid-century western film genre.
Today, approximately 62% of the population is reported to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This greatly influences culture and daily life.
