	The state of Utah is located in the western United States. The state is considered as the 45th state admitted to the union on January 4th 1896. The name "Utah" is derived from the Ute Indian language, meaning "people of the mountains". The state is widely popular for its geological diversity that ranges from snowcapped mountains, well watered river valleys, stony deserts and certain other things. The state is also famous for being one of the most religiously homogenous states in the union.
