Description


The site is where the Lucin Cutoff intersects the west coast of the peninsula formed where the Promontory Mountains project into the northern Great Salt Lake. The cutoff continues east 6.4 miles (10.3 km) to Promontory Point, where it leaves the peninsula.[2]

The community was named for the nearby salt works.[3] While initially an important location along the Lucin Cutoff, as rail service has improved, the town's significance decreased over the century following the construction of the rail line.
