"In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, Utah experienced a large influx of labor immigration. These labor immigrants were primarily Italians, Greeks, and Slavs from southern and eastern Europe. Collectively they were alien in culture, language, and religion to the natives in Utah, and as individual ethnic groups they were alien to each other. This article is an attempt to reconstruct the process of settlement of South Slav labor immigrants in Utah. These people settled in many places in the state, but only three locations -- Midvale, Highland Boy, and Helper -- will be examined here. Collectively these places reflect the major settlement experiences of the South Slav labor immigrants in Utah." [Author]
