Provo (
Provo is the home to Brigham Young University (BYU),[8] a private higher education institution operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Provo also has the LDS Church's largest Missionary Training Center (MTC). The city is a focus area for technology development in Utah, with several billion-dollar startups.[9] The city's Peaks Ice Arena was a venue for the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002.
History
The Provo area was originally called Timpanogas, a Numic (Ute people) word perhaps meaning "rock river".[10] The area was inhabited by the Timpanogos.[11] It was the largest and most settled area in modern-day Utah.[12] The ample food from the Provo River made the Timpanogos a peaceful people.[clarification needed][11] The area also served as the traditional meeting place for the Ute and Shoshone tribes and as a spot to worship their creator.[clarification needed][13]
Father
In 1847, the Mormon pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, which was just north of Timpanogos Mountain. At first, the Natives were friendly with the Mormons. But, as relations deteriorated with the Shoshoni and Utes because of disputes over land and cattle, tensions rose. Because of the reported stolen goods of settlers by the Utes, Brigham Young gave small militia orders "to take such measures as would put a final end to their [Indian] depredations in future." This ended in what is known as the Battle Creek massacre, in modern-day Pleasant Grove, Utah.
The Mormons continued pushing into Timpanog lands. In 1849, 33
In 1850, the first schoolhouse was constructed in Provo, built within Utah Fort.[17]
As more
In 1872, a railroad reached Provo. It was also this year that the Provo Woolen Mills opened. They were the first large factory in Provo and employed about 150 people, initially mainly skilled textile laborers who had emigrated from Britain.[19]

The fall season sees steady cooling and a transition to winter weather, with rare influences of rain systems from further south, as in the record wet month of September 1982, which saw 6.53 inches (165.9 mm) of total precipitation, including 4.15 inches (105.4 mm) over the last six days from a storm moving from Arizona. The last maximum of 90 °F (32.2 °C) can be expected around September 10, and the first morning below freezing on October 14.[21]
