Utah is astate located in theWestern United States. As of 2025[update], there are 255municipalities in the U.S. state ofUtah. A municipality is called atown if the population is under 1,000 people, and acity if the population is over 1,000 people.[1][2] Incorporation means that amunicipal charter has been adopted by the affected population following a referendum. In theConstitution of Utah, cities and towns are granted "the authority to exercise all powers relating to municipal affairs, and to adopt and enforce within its limits, local police, sanitary and similar regulations not in conflict with the general law"[3] They also have the power to raise and collect taxes, to provide and maintain local public services, acquire byeminent domain any property needed to make local improvements, and to raise money bybonds.[3]
The area had been occupied by different Native American groups dating to about 10,000 years before present. Europeans entered the region in the 1500s with the expedition ofGarci-Lopez de Cardenas, as recorded byFrancisco de Coronado,[4] and in subsequent decades other Europeans had a scattered presence asmountain men or explorers but there were no large or permanent settlements. Utah was colonized by theSpanish Empire as part of theProvince of Las Californias, and laterAlta California. AfterMexico gained independence from Spain in 1821, Utah was under Mexican control until theTreaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 ceded the territory to theUnited States of America. The Spanish and Mexican legacy of the state is present in many place names, particularly in the southern portion of Utah. On July 22, 1847, the first party ofLatter-day Saint pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, where they foundedSalt Lake City. Over the next 22 years, more than 70,000 Mormon pioneers crossed the plains and settled in Utah.[5] Initial colonization along theWasatch Front was mostly made by members ofthe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), with little direct involvement from LDS leadership. Outside the Wasatch Front, many settlements were directed, planned, organized, and dispatched by leaders of the Church. Settlements were also founded by the railroads, mining companies and non-LDS settlers.[6] Many settlements were named after leaders, history or from scriptures of the LDS Church. Natural features of the region, including rivers, mountains, lakes and flora, are also commonly used for names.
The 2023American Community Survey estimate puts 3,128,845 of the state's 3,331,190 residents within these cities and towns, accounting for 94% of the population. Just over 75% of Utah's population is concentrated in the four Wasatch Front counties ofSalt Lake,Utah,Davis, andWeber. The largest city is the state's capital of Salt Lake City with a population of about 208,000 and the former coal mining town ofScofield is the smallest town with 33 people.[1]
In 2015, a new form of local government, the metro township, was created.[7] Five unincorporated townships inSalt Lake County voted to incorporate as metro townships, allowing them to elect councils and manage a budget, but they must contract with other cities for municipal services and have limited taxation powers.[8] In 2024, the five metro townships, Kearns, Magna, Copperton, Emigration Canyon and White City, became incorporated cities through H.B. 35 in the 2024 general session of the Utah Legislature.[9]
