The University of Utah was founded in 1850 by the General Assembly of the Provisional State of Deseret under the name "University of Deseret". It closed a few years later due to lack of funds, but was re-established in 1867 by David O. Calder and John R. Park. The name was changed to "University of Utah" in 1892.
