Monday Trivia Quiz
Douglas Devore asks: Savvy Utah politicos know there are 29 counties in the state, but that hasn’t always been the case. How many counties did Utah have when it became a state in 1896?
Bonus question: When were the additional counties created and by whom? (Hint: it wasn’t the Legislature.)
