Editing Spanish Fork, Utah (section)

====Icelandic Days====
The Icelandic Association of Utah was founded in 1897 and hosts Iceland Days every year. The association picked June because [[Icelandic Independence Day]], or National Day, is June 17.

Spanish Fork was the first Icelandic settlement in the United States, after Icelanders who joined the [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints|Church of Jesus Christ]] were expelled from that country, according to association spokesman Glenn Grossman.{{Citation needed|date=April 2019}} Although other nationalities helped found the town, under colonizer [[Brigham Young]], Icelanders kept their identity and celebrate it with their culture every year during the three-day event.
