About this listen

From sacred basin to Olympic stage, Salt Lake City has always been a city of paradox—where faith meets frontier, and legacy meets innovation. In this cinematic nonfiction journey, Derek Monaghan traces the city’s evolution across ten vivid chapters, blending historical clarity with emotional depth.

Explore the Indigenous roots of the Salt Lake Valley, the arrival of Mormon pioneers, and the tensions of polygamy, railroads, and rebellion. Witness the city’s transformation through mining booms, civil rights movements, and cultural renaissance. From the mysteries of the Great Salt Lake to the global spotlight of the 2002 Winter Olympics, this book captures the spirit of a city constantly reinventing itself.

Whether you're a historian, traveler, educator, or curious listener, A Brief History of Salt Lake City offers a powerful reflection on resilience, memory, and momentum—illuminating the human stories behind one of America’s most unique urban landscapes.
