Now here's a little bit about Sandy Utah
Located at the base of the Wasatch Mountains and just 13 miles from Salt Lake City, Sandy was a likely area for early settlement which started during the 1860s due to the availability of land.
Nobody is quite sure where the name Sandy came from, there's speculation that it could be for its thirsty soil, or from the train engineer who ran the first train line to this end of the vally (Alexander "Sandy" Kinghorn).
Farmers came to Sandy but it was mining that was Sandy's main draw - it was filled with hotels an saloons that served the miners who were ready and willing to spend their newly earned wages. Three major smelters were located in Sandy, making it the most significant smelting center for a number of years.
Unfortunately, when the mines failed in the 1890s, Sandy faltered, then underwent a significant economic transformation into an agricultural community. The good news was that Sandy did not disappear (like so many other mining towns) This was due to its location, resources, and the spirit of its inhabitants.
During the 60's and 70's, Sandy underwent another growth spurt, with collections of small local communities identified by a youthful, family-oriented population. Although it was initially perceived as a bedroom community, and often still is, it has since developed a thriving commercial center along State Street and other various arterial roads.
