SALT LAKE CITY UT

Glendale, Poplar Grove and the Westside

comprise one of the most culturally

diverse neighborhoods in Salt Lake City.

Our community is said to be a cultural

crossroads with more than 100 different

languages spoken and a large

concentration of immigrant families.

The Westside is home to some of the

city’s most treasured assets including

the International Peace Gardens

and the Sorenson Unity Center. The

area is rich in tradition and is bursting

with a variety of locally owned shops

and restaurants highlighting cultures

from all over the world.

Glendale and Poplar Grove are

increasing in popularity thanks to

plentiful affordable housing, large

lots, close proximity to downtown Salt

Lake City, and valuable community

amenities, including 88 acres of parks

and open space.

Westside residents are vibrant, friendly

and take pride in our community. The

area is very family oriented with one-

third of residents under 18 years old

and a median age of only 27 years old.

Glendale and Poplar Grove are located

on the west side of Salt Lake City; the

community stretches from I-15 to

Redwood Road and from 950 South to

2100 South.

HISTORYThe Cannon family was among of the first homesteaders to

settle in the Glendale area and built several large houses

that remain today. In the 1890s, several industries were

established in the Glendale and Poplar Grove areas,

including the Fisher brewery, a biscuit factory, and a soup

factory. Following World War II the area expanded rapidly

and early major subdivisions were built to accommodate

families moving to Utah to support the war effort as part

of the relocation of the Ninth Service Command to Fort

Douglas. In the late 1960s, Salt Lake County began

work on the Jordan River Parkway, which now connects

multiple neighborhoods on Salt Lake City’s west side and

extends throughout the county.

The Westside is expanding into the

remarkable place we’ve aspired to over

the past few years. As a reminder of

the great parts of our community, we

created this map of the Westside

pointing them out.

The map compliments the Westside

Master Plan, a recently adopted,

visionary plan for the next 20 years of

change. The plan anticipates stability

in our single family home areas,

development in our existing business

nodes, improvements to the Jordan

River Parkway and new retail along

Redwood Road.

I hope you can use this map as a

tool to share our great neighborhood

with others.
