150 Years of Icelanders in Utah Celebration
One hundred and fifty years ago, in 1855, Samuel Bjarnason, Margrét Gísladóttir, and Helga Jónsdóttir arrived in Utah. They settled in Spanish Fork, the oldest, continuous Iceland settlement in the United States. Over the years, 410 immigrants settled in Utah. On June 23-26 this year, Western Icelanders, guests, and friends celebrate their Icelandic heritage, honor the memory of Icelandic immigrants, and build bridges between countries.
