Know the area
What Capitol Hill is like
A historic Salt Lake City neighborhood built around the Utah State Capitol, with the Marmalade District on its west slope.
Capitol Hill takes its name from the Utah State Capitol, built on the hill between 1912 and 1916. The neighborhood's west slope, the Marmalade District, holds some of the oldest documented homes in the state, with streets named for fruit trees.
