HISTORIX Vintage 1875 Brigham City and Great and 50 similar items

Brigham City is situated at the base of the Wellsville Mountains, part of the Wasatch Mountain Range. The Wasatch is the Western Edge of the Greater Rocky Mountains, and the region is home to many sources of fresh water, which made them ideal for the early settlers who established communities around them. Established by Mormon settlers during the 1850s, Brigham City had grown to be a hub for trade and developed a thriving industry that attracted residents in the decade following the conclusion of the American Civil War when railroad expansion had increased access to many remote parts of the American West. Produced and published by Eli Sheldon Glover, this bird's eye perspective bears a distinctive style and unique aesthetic that immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating a link between the past and present. Panoramic maps were widely popular during the latter portions of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century. They served as marketing materials to attract residents and merchants alike by promoting prominent civic features and natural attractions. Brigham City's proximity to the Great Salt Lake also attracted residents looking to extract minerals from the region and transport them to markets in the Northeast. The city experienced a significant population boom following World War II due to the formation of the ATK Thiokol corporation, which produced the rockets for the first space shuttles. By 1875 Brigham City remained a relatively remote enclave that continued to grow and evolve as the nation neared the turn of the century.
