Salduro, Utah

[2] The name "Salduro" is a combination of Spanish words sal and duro and means "hard salt".

That same year, the Solvay Process Company began extracting potash from subsurface brines of the Salduro Salt Marsh.

The operation was constructed on the south side of the Western Pacific Railroad at Salduro station.

[6] On June 23, 1924, U.S. Army test pilot Russell Maughan performed the first dawn-to-dusk transcontinental flight across the United States, flying a Curtiss P-1 Hawk.

[citation needed] The settlement gained prominence in the 1930s and 1940s, when significant potash and salt were mined nearby.
