This fall, we have chosen to highlight Fairpark, one of Salt Lake City’s most vibrant and overlooked historic neighborhoods. More than 1,100 of the 1,489 buildings in this 28-block area contribute to its historic character, making it one of the city's most architecturally and culturally intact neighborhoods.

Tucked between 600 North and 200 South, Fairpark may be small, but it holds a big place in our city’s past. Known today as the home of the Utah State Fairgrounds, this neighborhood is part of the Salt Lake City Northwest Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. More than 1,100 of the 1,489 buildings in this 28-block area contribute to its historic character, making it one of the most architecturally and culturally intact neighborhoods in the city.

Step inside the story. Celebrate Fairpark.
