    Thanks for visiting the SLCo Sesquicentennial Celebration web site. The first official meeting of Salt Lake County government was held on March 15, 1852.

We’ve come a long way in 150 years. We now operate over 150 facilities ranging from community pools and parks to the Southtowne Exposition Center.

We also provide hundreds of quality programs and services to the community, including plowing snowy roads, delivering hot meals to the homebound elderly, and managing drug rehabilitation programs for those in need.

We are committed to service excellence for Salt Lake County residents. more...
