The Utah Territory is a large desert region that stretches across the southwestern United States. The territory was created in 1850 due to the efforts of Mormon settlers under the leadership of Brigham Young, the church's head: because of this, Young was appointed the territory's first governor. The territory's only large settlement is Salt Lake City.
