The first white woman to enter Utah is often considered to be Elizabeth "Betsy" Whitney. She arrived with the Mormon pioneers in 1847, shortly after the group settled in the Salt Lake Valley. Her presence marked an important moment in the settlement of the region by European Americans. Whitney's journey is part of the broader narrative of westward expansion and the establishment of communities in the Utah territory.
