2. Utah's Women in History: November 11 is also significant for women's history in Utah. On this day in 1869, Seraph Young became the first woman in the United States to vote in a public election. She cast her ballot in a Salt Lake City municipal election, just a few months after Utah became the first state to grant women the right to vote.

3. Utah's Longest-serving Governor: Calvin L. Rampton, Utah's longest-serving governor, was born on November 11, 1913. Rampton served as governor for three terms, from 1965 to 1977.

5. Utah's Historical Significance: Finally, November 11 is a reminder of the long and complex history of Utah and the American West. On this day in 1847, a group of Mormon pioneers led by Brigham Young entered the Salt Lake Valley, marking the beginning of permanent settlement in the region. This event has had a profound impact on Utah's culture, politics, and society, and continues to shape the state's identity today.
