Sandy City is a city in the state of Utah located 13 miles south of Salt Lake City. Originally a small farming community, Sandy City became a major center for Utah's agricultural industry. Its sandy soil required large amounts of water for crops. When silver was discovered in nearby Little Cottonwood Canyon, the town began to grow quickly. Its importance to the mining industry made it a supply hub for silver miners. Eventually, however, the silver mines dried up and the city returned to a small agricultural community.
