About South Salt Lake
South Salt Lake was incorporated in 1938 and has transformed from an industrial hub into a diverse community of over 25,000 residents. The city's central location between downtown Salt Lake City and the southern suburbs makes it a crossroads for commuters throughout the valley. Its ongoing revitalization along State Street has brought new restaurants, breweries, and creative businesses alongside long-established industrial and commercial operations. The Central Pointe TRAX hub makes South Salt Lake one of the most transit-accessible communities in Utah.

Rio Grande Depot

Heading to the depot area or Granary Row? We're a straight shot south on State Street—easy detour before or after your visit.
State Street Corridor
0.2 milesState Street is the central commercial spine of South Salt Lake and one of the most heavily trafficked roads in Salt Lake County. The constant stop-and-go from 2100 South to 3900 South is one of the main reasons South Salt Lake drivers wear through brakes and clutches faster than the valley average.
If your brakes squeak every time you hit a red light on State Street, bring it in—those lights are hard on pads.
