Sanpete County, Utah
Sanpete County is a county located in the U.S. state of Utah. As of the 2010 census, the population was 27,822.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/49/49039.html )〕 Its county seat is Manti,〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 and its largest city is Ephraim. The county was created in 1850. It was named for the Ute chief Sanpitch, which was changed to Sanpete. According to William Bright, the name comes from the Ute word ''saimpitsi'', meaning "people of the tules".
== History ==
On June 14, 1849, Ute chiefs Walkara and Sowiette went to the Salt Lake Valley to ask Mormon leader Brigham Young to settle a group of his people in the valley of Sanpitch,〔Albert C.T. Antrei and Allen D. Roberts, ''A History of Sanpete County'' (Salt Lake City: Utah State Historical Society, Sanpete County Commission), 1999, 24.〕 about to the south. Wanting to honor their request and needing to found new settlements where the quickly-growing population of Salt Lake could expand, Brigham Young sent a party to explore the area in August of that year. It was deemed favorable to settlement, and Brigham Young called Isaac Morley and George Washington Bradley to organize about fifty families to move south and settle "San Pete."〔Albert C.T. Antrei and Allen D. Roberts, ''A History of Sanpete County'' (Salt Lake City: Utah State Historical Society, Sanpete County Commission, 1999), 25.〕
The settlers arrived in the valley on November 19, 1849. They numbered 224 men, women, and children and were led by Isaac Morley, Charles Shumway, and Seth Taft and George Washington Bradley. After some debate, the first settlement in the valley was established on the present site of Manti, Utah.〔
Over the course of the 19th Century, many of the settlers came from Scandinavian countries, as documented in the ''Saga of the Sanpitch''.
