What year did Utah become a state?

Answer:

1896

Why this is the correct answer

Utah was admitted to the Union in 1896 as the 45th state, after decades of failed attempts driven largely by congressional concerns over the practice of polygamy. Statehood was finally granted after the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints officially banned the practice in 1890.
