Brief History
Utah was made a state in 1896. Previously it was a territory for 50 years.
Fillmore is located in central Utah, midway between Salt lake and St. George. Fillmore was named after president Millard Fillmore in 1851 by Brigham Young. For a little while it was the territorial capital the oldest government building still stands there today. (http://www.fillmorecity.org). It has passed through many different industries, the people have farmed, ranched, grown alfalfa, mined, and now bur coal generating power now purchased by southern California. (
