Magna: Copper Country on the Western Salt Lake Valley
Magna sits at the base of the Oquirrh Mountains in western Salt Lake County, closer to the Kennecott Bingham Canyon Mine than any other populated place. Established in 1851 as a farm settlement named Pleasant Green, the town was renamed Magna in 1906 after the magna ore mill built nearby to process copper from the Oquirrh mines. The community became a Metro Township in 2017 after residents voted to formalize local government without full incorporation as a city. Population stands at roughly 27,000.
The Kennecott smelter complex, with its 1,215-foot smokestack completed in 1974, is one of the most visible landmarks in the Salt Lake Valley. The stack is among the tallest structures in the western United States. Magna's Main Street preserves early twentieth-century commercial architecture from the copper boom.
Pleasant Green Cemetery, established in 1870, contains the graves of many mining families from the Oquirrh operations. Cyprus High School, located in nearby Magna, serves the community through the Granite School District.
