Task Description[edit | edit source]

Add information or links to the History area (located under Quick Facts on each county page) for the 29 counties.

What to include in this brief history:

Links to Internet sites with a history of the county. Please be selective, especially if the sites are redundant.
Events that affected the record-keeping
Migrations, influx of settlers (such as Scandivians, etc.)
Crop damage that led to ghost settlements.
Whatever is interesting and will help users know what happened, especially as if affected records and record-keeping.

No need to repeat information in the other sub-headings of Quick Facts (Parent County, Boundary Changes, Record Loss) UNLESS you are doing a timeline. Each of those sub-headings will become WikiProject Utah tasks.

If you choose to do this in a timeline, please start each line with year-month-day then the event description. There is a blank table you can use on the Discussion page for this task. Simply copy it in WikiText to the county.

Prototype:[edit | edit source]

No general prototype; varies from county to county. See Owyhee County, Idaho or Adams County, Idaho for examples.
