Utah is one of the Mountain states of the US. From the time of its early settlement until the mid-20th century, Utah was known primarily for its agricultural and mining industries. By the early 1990s, however, the state had developed a notably diversified economy, with a wide range of manufactured products. Tourism has also become a major element of the economy, and increasing numbers of visitors are attracted by the state's great scenic wonders.
