Salt Lake City PFA Theodoros Kolokotronis Chapter #90 Community Event - February 19, 2020
Salt Lake City PFA Theodoros Kolokotronis Chapter #90 Community Event - February 19, 2020
On Wednesday, February 19, 2020, the Salt Lake City PFA Chapter #90 hosted a community-wide event. The event was an educational tour of the famous Trolley Square History Museum. We learned a lot!
Utah played a key role in the history of electrical power. While Utah was still a federal territory, in 1880 the Salt Lake Power, Light, and Heating Company was formed. Following London, New York, San Francisco, and Cleveland, in 1881 Salt Lake City became the world's fifth city to electrify with a central station source of electricity.
