Magna

Among the communities of Utah, Magna stands out for its origins as a planned copper-industry town. It occupies the broad Salt Lake Valley west of Salt Lake City, with the Great Salt Lake to the north and the Oquirrh Mountains to the south. Established in 1906 by the Utah Copper Company, Magna developed for workers supporting the Bingham Canyon mining operation and ore-processing facilities. The Empress Theatre on Main Street, opened in 1916, recalls the town’s early civic life and remains a cultural venue. Magna connects industrial heritage with the open environment around the saline Great Salt Lake.
