释义
Fillmore
Utah, United States
city, seat (1851) of Millard county, west-central Utah, U.S. It lies just west of the Pahvant Range (at an elevation of 5,061 feet 【1,543 metres】), 95 miles (153 km) south-southwest of Provo. Settled in 1851, the city was named for U.S. President Millard Fillmore (Fillmore, Millard), who appointed Mormon leader Brigham Young (Young, Brigham) as the first governor of Utah Territory. Young selected the area as the site for Utah's first territorial capitol building. It was the official, but not actual, capital until it relinquished the position to Salt Lake City in 1856. The uncompleted statehouse, built of red sandstone, now houses pioneer and Indian artifacts and is preserved as a state historic monument. The city is a trading centre for mixed farming (grains, potatoes, alfalfa seed, and livestock); mountain mushrooms are processed there. Fishlake National Forest (site of Big Rock Candy Mountain of folklore fame) is to the east, and the Kanosh Indian Reservation is to the south. Pop. (1990) 1,956; (2000) 2,253.
