Lets see what Utah has to say....
State Capitol: Salt Lake City
Settled by: Mormon Pioneers
Entered the Union as: 45th state, Jan. 4 1896
Area in Square Miles: 84.916
Population: approx. 1,200,000
Nickname: The Beehive State
You've probably noticed that i dont always include the same information about map cards...that is coz i actually write down the info which is on the back of the cards and they are not always the same....in addition i may add something else
The state's motto is: Industry (?!)
I couldnt find why thats the state;s motto, i guess someone living in Utah could hop in here, but regarding the state;s nickname, it says that during the settlement period, a certain Mr. Young, had an expansionist's view of the territory he and the Mormon pioneers were settling, calling it Deseret - which church founder Smith had taught meant "honeybee" - hence the beehive which can still be found on the Utah flag.
