| Initially,
Salt Lake City was ruled by a high council. It was the high council
that enacted the first municipal ordinances, ratified in a public
meeting on January 1, 1848. The unexpected discovery of gold in California
in 1848 contributed greatly to Salt Lake City’s early growth.
The gold rush of 1849 brought a flood of gold seekers through Salt
Lake en route to California. These travelers also brought Salt Lake
City its first taste of prosperity. As prospectors and speculators
raced to the West Coast through Salt Lake City, they brought goods
and scarce money with them. Trading became the order of the day. Residents
of Salt Lake City supplied the gold rushers with fresh livestock and
crops in return for clothing, tools and manufactured goods —
treasures from the East Coast. |
