History & Significance: The Miracle of the Gulls

In the spring of 1848, early settlers in the Salt Lake Valley faced total agricultural devastation as massive swarms of Rocky Mountain crickets descended upon their first major crop harvest. When destruction seemed certain, thousands of California gulls arrived, consuming the pests and saving enough of the crops to sustain the nascent community. Remembered by pioneers as a miraculous answer to prayer, this event remains a cornerstone of Utah lore—and is permanently commemorated by the Seagull Monument in Salt Lake City as well as on this 2026 2-unit Goldback note.
