Utah Valley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Utah Valley is a valley in central Utah located in Utah County, and is considered part of the Wasatch Front. It contains Provo, Orem, and their suburbs. Utah Lake is a natural shallow fresh water lake in its center. All rivers in the valley flow into Utah Lake, which itself empties into the Jordan River to the north.

Novell was instrumental in making the Utah Valley a focus for high-technology software development. Today this area has many small companies whose employees have previously worked at Novell. Also located there are Utah Valley State College and Brigham Young University.
