From the book entitled "The Free State - A History and Place-Names Study
of Livingston Parish" by the members of the Livingston Parish American
Revolution Bicentennial Committee in cooperation with the Livingston 
Parish Police Jury and the Louisiana American Revolution Bicentennial
Commission, 1976.  Reprinted by permission.  Dedicated to the memory of
Reuben Cooper and Raymond Riggs.

UTAH was a short-lived post office established Nov. 7, 1921 with Wincy

M. Aydell as the first postmaster.  The office was discontinued on

April 29, 1922 and the mail was then sent to Walker. (1)

     At present it is not known why the post office was given the name

Utah.  A 1934 map of Livingston Parish published by the Mississippi

River Commission shows Utah situated southeast of Denham Springs.
