Iosepa, Utah

Iosepa (/joʊˈsɛpə/ or /joʊˈsiːpə/, with the I like an English Y) is a ghost town in Utah's Skull Valley, located approximately 75 miles (120 km) southwest of Salt Lake City in Tooele County. Once home to over 200 Polynesian members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), Iosepa was inhabited during the period 1889–1917. Today it is the site of an annual Memorial Day gathering that draws islanders and others from all over the Western United States.
